Isabel Hospice has teamed up with New Look to reward shoppers who donate their preloved clothing to the end-of-life-care charity.

As part of the ‘Donate, Feel Great’ scheme, customers are encouraged to pass on their good quality, any brand secondhand clothes, shoes and accessories to their local Isabel shop in exchange for a discount voucher to spend at their paired New Look store.

The initiative has been launched in conjunction with national charity Hospice UK, with the High Street retailer pairing a record 368 hospice shops with their local New Look branch.

The aim is to help provide charities like Isabel Hospice with much-needed stock during challenging times, as well as reduce the amount of clothing waste being sent unnecessarily to landfill.

Isabel Hospice’s two shops in Stonehills and Fretherne Road in Welwyn Garden City and its 34 Town Centre branch in Hatfield have been paired with New Look at The Howard Centre in WGC.

The Isabel shops at 72 Town Centre in Hatfield and at The Galleria have been paired with the New Look store at The Maltings shopping centre in St Albans.

Charlotte Greenwood, Isabel’s head of retail, said: “We are so pleased to have been chosen as one of the partners for New Look’s ‘Donate, Feel Great’ scheme with Hospice UK.

“Our shops rely on generous donations from the public to raise vital funds for our specialist care for those living with a terminal or life-limiting illness in the local community. Unfortunately, this year we have seen the level of donations decline by 18 per cent, so we are grateful that New Look is providing an incentive to come and donate to us.

“Our shops offer affordable preloved goods, which not only helps encourage sustainable shopping, but is especially important during the cost-of-living crisis so our customers have somewhere to go that offers great value.”

To claim your 15 per cent off New Look voucher, simply drop your donations directly to your nearest Isabel shop in either Welwyn Garden City or Hatfield and scan the QR code in-store.
