About Marie Curie, Houghton-le-Spring
The Marie Curie shop is at 46 Newbottle Street, the main shopping street in Houghton-le-Spring. It sells donated clothing, books, toys, homeware and cards, and the money raised helps fund Marie Curie's nursing and hospice care for people living with a terminal illness.
The shop opens from 9am to 4.30pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, which makes it handy for a weekend browse outside the city centre. Donations of clean goods in good condition can be taken into the shop during opening hours. It serves shoppers from Houghton, Hetton-le-Hole, Shiney Row and the surrounding villages. If you are a UK taxpayer, ask about Gift Aid when you donate, as it lets the charity claim extra on the value your goods raise.
