The Bordon & Liphook Charity
Liphook Shop - Station Road, Liphook
Liphook Care Shop Limited
In May 1999 a loan from the Bordon Charity was made to “Liphook Care”. A new and second Charity Shop operating from 23 Station Road Liphook. It has been set up with the same objectives but with special emphasis on assisting Macmillan as well. It achieved its target of £25,000, and repaid the loan within the year.
The shop is run by a Company Limited by Guarantee and has two Directors - Jennie Vernon-Smith who is the Treasurer and Carl Tantum who is the Company Secretary. There are some 18 Volunteers who are the backbone of the daily operation. Again the Community of Liphook has been most supportive in providing donations and creating the excellent turnover achieved so far. Madelaine Briant took over running of the shop from Andrea Evans, and her successor, Jill Morgan, was appointed in early 2001. Jill Morgan resigned in April 2005 and the new manager, Viv Gabriel was appointed Manager in 2006, and retired in 2008 when Christine Kinge was appointed.
