Sustainable September
Date: September 2026
What’s on: Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care is supporting the Sustainable September initiative, encouraging local people to shop, donate and dress more sustainably throughout the month. The charity is calling on supporters to clear out their wardrobes and donate quality pre-loved items to their local Rennie Grove Peace shop, while also embracing second-hand fashion by purchasing at Rennie Grove Peace charity shops and sharing their favourite sustainable outfits. Every donation makes a difference, funding expert hospice care for local people facing progressive life-limiting illnesses. During September, for every bag of donated goods taken to a Rennie Grove Peace shop, you will receive a stamp on the Rennie Grove Peace Loyalty Card. Once the card is full, you can enjoy £5 off your next purchase at any Rennie Grove Peace shop.
