About Sue Ryder:
Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops. Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement, and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes, and in the community. We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.
