St Michael’s Hospice kilo sales raise more than £15,000

St Michael’s Hospice, which supports people with life-limiting illnesses and those experiencing bereavement, launched the fundraising sales at its furniture store in 2025.

Since then, the events have raised a total of £15,716.

Lorraine Pink, director of income generation at St Michael’s Hospice, said: "Our Kilo Sales have been a great success, and we can’t wait for them to grow even more.

"By raising £15,716 so far, not only have our community helped to stop more items going into landfill, but they’ve also helped raise much-needed funds to help us provide our vital care to families across North Hampshire. You never know what you’re going to find at our Kilo Sales, so it’s definitely worth popping in to have a rummage every month."

Kilo sales let shoppers buy pre-loved clothing and accessories for £10 per kilogram.

The events are held on the first weekend of each month at the hospice’s furniture store on Wade Road, Basingstoke.

St Michael’s Hospice must raise £15,000 each day to continue providing its vital services.

The fundraising scheme not only supports hospice care but also promotes environmental sustainability by reducing textile waste.
