Charlie Ross, of Antiques Roadshow and Flog It! fame officially opened the Willen Hospice Furniture Store at 80 Queensway, Bletchley on Saturday. This latest venture will help to recycle second hand furniture and bring in much needed income. This, in addition to the Hospice’s other shops which sell clothes, books and bric-a-brac, the weekly lottery and the many organised events, will help to raise the £2.4 million a year needed for the Hospice to provide its specialist care.
