Compassion shown at Amersham Owned 

DATE

January 28, 2026

We’re raising a toast to Izabela Glogowska and the rest of the team at the Amersham Owned shop in Woodside Road which supports the Hospice of St Francis & local families

Tucked away in Woodside Road, the Amersham Owned shop is far more than a place to browse pre-loved treasures. It is a welcoming community hub that reflects the compassion and care at the heart of the Hospice of St Francis, which has supported local people and families for more than four decades. 

The Hospice of St Francis provides specialist care for people living with life-limiting illness across Bucks and surrounding counties, offering physical, emotional and spiritual support not only to patients but also to those closest to them. For many families, this becomes a lifeline at the most difficult of times. 

One such person is Alan Garfield, who speaks with deep gratitude about the hospice’s care for his late wife, Sheila. He makes time to honour her passing every February. He describes Amersham Owned as a place filled with kindness, warmth and genuine connection – qualities that mirror the hospice itself. 

Managed by Izabela, the shop offers a carefully curated selection of furniture, clothing, accessories and homeware, with every purchase directly supporting hospice services. Volunteers and staff create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere where customers feel valued. By shopping, donating or spreading the word, the community plays a vital role in sustaining the hospice’s work. Amersham Owned is a powerful reminder that everyday actions can make a difference.
