To mark the occasion, the team hosted a first birthday party at the shop, inviting the local community to join them for a fun-filled day for all ages, with cake, a raffle and tombola.
The event was a thank you to Hitchin residents for their support over the past year, whether through donating preloved items, volunteering their time or shopping in store.
“We’re so grateful to the Hitchin community for welcoming us to the area,”
“This birthday celebration was our way of saying thank you – and having a bit of fun together!”
The Willow shop in Hitchin opened in November 2024 and has become a much-loved part of Arcade Walk, offering quality preloved items at affordable prices, to help deliver the charity’s mission of creating special experiences for seriously ill young adults.
The team are always looking for good quality donations and additional support and anyone interested in getting involved is encouraged to ask instore about volunteering opportunities.
