Our
shop is
full of surprises!
If you’re an avid collector, a lover of designer or
vintage clothing and accessories, searching for
a unique gift or just fancy treating yourself to
something that’s a little bit different, take a look at
our very own St Giles store on eBay. There you’ll
find a wide range of exclusive items and exciting
collectables that are updated frequently.
Where else might you find treasures such as a 16th century
bible, a Versace silk scarf, a dapple grey rocking horse, a vintage
Liberty purse and an Apple iMac all under one (virtual) roof? One
of the best things about the store is that you never quite know
what you’ll find next!
It’s an exciting shopping experience, and one where your donations
will be supporting your local hospice at the same time. Our eBay
store is run by an experienced and knowledgeable team of staff
and volunteers who are specialists in the selection and valuation
of eBay items. The store opens up a worldwide market place and
helps us achieve the highest monetary value from your donations.
If you have something that you’d like us to sell in our store on
eBay, items can be labelled ‘eBay’ and taken into any of our shops
or our distribution centre in Shenstone. Whilst we can’t always
guarantee your donation is suitable for our eBay store, they will be
assessed by our experienced eBay team. If you’ve got any queries,
please contact our dedicated eBay team from Monday to Friday,
10am to 4pm by email [email protected] or
call 0121 354 7824.
Your generous and continued support last year made a real
difference to the lives of local people and their families who are
living with a potentially terminal illness. Thank you.

A hospice built by bricks, mortar and friendship
We literally wouldn’t be where we are today without our friends.
Even before the hospice at Whittington was built over 35 years
ago, the support of friends was vital. The ‘Friends of St Giles
Hospice’ programme was originally created back in the early
1980s to bring communities together to raise awareness and
funds for the construction of the hospice. To this day, our Friends
Groups still work tirelessly to support the continued running of
St Giles and we simply couldn’t manage without them.
Currently we have nine ’Friends of’ groups across the region.
They truly embody the ‘It takes a community to make a hospice’
ethos, bringing people together to create and host some fantastic
fundraising events. And what an imaginative and tenacious
bunch they are - from race nights and concerts, coffee mornings
and Santa’s sleigh, open gardens and bucket collections, there is
no end to their dedication and commitment to St Giles, come rain
or shine!
To date, more than £1million has been raised by the ten groups,
which is an amazing total, providing vital support for the hospice.
This year, our Friends groups have rubbed shoulders with
celebrities such as Lord Digby Jones as well as getting the inside
scoop from former Royal Protection Officer Colin Tebbut! They
have also generously donated items including a brand new table
and chairs for patients and families to use to spend time and
eat together. In addition, many of our ‘Friends’ also volunteer
at events and within the hospice. We owe them a huge debt of
gratitude for the many, many ways in which they support us.
