A new community bookshop, Chapter Two, is opening in Chesham, with all profits going to support The Hospice of St Francis which helps local people affected by cancer or a life-limiting illness.

The bookshop, at 10 High street, has sustainability at its heart, giving new life to once-cherished books and re-using materials inside the shop from donated bookcases to reading tables and chairs. Visitors are encouraged to pop in and browse the books from the ever-changing collection whilst enjoying a coffee. They can also take inspiration from the curated gift collection of stationery, cards, vinyl records or bespoke items created by the Hospice’s Creates & Makes volunteer team.

With a dedicated children’s area and plans for workshops from book binding to book origami and novel writing to reading groups, it will be a community space for all plus offer the chance to find out more about the work of the Hospice (which has cared for people from Chesham for over 40 years) with ‘Meet the nurse’ events and other information events planned.

Chapter Two will be open seven days a week. Donations of good quality books during opening hours are always welcome. Find out more about Chapter Two, The Hospice of St Francis and its free services at www.stfrancis.org.uk/chaptertwo.
