KEMP Hospice opens a new dedicated bookshop in Bewdley

The Book Corner by KEMP Hospice brings a new shopping experience to Load Street in Bewdley, helping to raise vital funds for local hospice care.

Book lovers have a new destination to explore in Bewdley this November as we opened the doors to The Book Corner by KEMP Hospice on Load Street on Thursday 12 November. Town Mayor Councillor Sharon Harvey officially opened the shop to welcome customers to be the first to take a look. 

The new shop marks an exciting development for KEMP Hospice Retail, introducing our first dedicated bookshop.

It offers a wide selection of generously donated books, including fiction and non-fiction, alongside a range of other media items such as CDs and DVDs.

The Book Corner will complement KEMP Hospice’s existing shop in Bewdley, giving residents and visitors even more opportunities to discover pre-loved treasures while supporting a local charity.

Supporting KEMP Hospice when you shop

Every purchase made across KEMP Hospice’s shops helps fund KEMP’s free-of-charge care and support services for people living with life-limiting conditions and their families across Wyre Forest.

The opening is the latest in a series of exciting developments for KEMP Hospice Retail, including the transformation of our Worcester Street shop into The Outlet by KEMP Hospice, alongside the relocation of our Stourport shop to a new High Street premises. The opening of The Book Corner marks the final development in this series, bringing a fresh retail concept to Bewdley.

Gary Barnes, Head of Retail at KEMP Hospice said “We’re incredibly excited to be opening The Book Corner by KEMP Hospice and bringing something new to Bewdley. We know how much people enjoy discovering a great book, and we’re delighted to be creating a dedicated space where book lovers can browse, find their next read and pick up other much-loved media items, all while supporting their local hospice.”

“Every purchase helps us raise vital funds for the free care and support we provide at KEMP Hospice to local people and their families. We are always incredibly grateful for the support of our customers and we hope they will enjoy browsing our new style of shop in Bewdley.”

KEMP Hospice is encouraging book lovers, bargain hunters and anyone looking for their next great read to visit The Book Corner, browse the shelves and help make a difference through their purchases.
