A new charity retail concept is set to hit Hull, promising a revolution in second-hand shopping within the city.
Dove House Hospice is gearing up to launch 'The Market' on 20th July, offering a revamped thrift store experience. Leading the re-use, re-purpose, and re-love movement, The Market by Dove House presents itself as a lively shopping outlet - It caters to those seeking unique, one-off items while endorsing a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
"We're really pushing the concept of thrifting and second-hand shopping," shares Jenny Rowan, Head of Retail at Dove House. "It's not just better for the environment, but it also lets people showcase their individuality and creativity through fashion. Our aim is to make thrifting trendy and accessible to all."

"The Market stands out from other charity shops in the vicinity. It's the go-to sustainable solution for style enthusiasts and stepping inside, you'll be impressed by the considerate merchandising and intelligently curated collections of vintage homewares, preloved fashion, unique antiques and more."
"Our team has meticulously hand-picked and merchandised every single item to create a true destination shopping experience."
The Market's mission is to serve eco-conscious consumers on the hunt for sustainable fashion and home décor. Every purchase made directly supports the compassionate hospice care that Dove House extends to our local community.
Located on Malmo Road within the bustling Sutton Fields Industrial Estate, The Market is perfectly placed for a quick detour to Kingswood and other nearby retail havens.
"We'll be open every day, giving people who work at Sutton Fields the opportunity to pop out during their lunch break to find something special for the weekend or an upcoming occasion. It's just a short journey from the city centre by bus, bike or car."
The Market isn't just about shopping; it's set to become a hive of activity with a diverse schedule of events, pop-ups, workshops and more, all aimed at fostering a vibrant community spirit.
"We want The Market to be a place where people not only find unique pieces but also learn about sustainable living, up-cycling skills and reducing environmental impact."
"Dove House Hospice's vision is to ensure that every adult within our community with a life-limiting illness enjoys the best possible quality of life, with easy access to high-quality palliative care in the setting of their choice."
"Our 32 shops, soon to be 33 with the opening of The Market, play a crucial role in supporting this vision, raising over half the total income needed for the running of Dove House Hospice. This vital revenue stream from our shops helps make our essential services possible, allowing us to continue providing compassionate care to those who need it most."
The grand opening of The Market will take place on July 20th.
