A RENOWNED artist visited the newest Primrose Hospice charity shop on Bromsgrove High Street.
Sophie Tea’s arrival was for the 44th episode of her ‘Charity Shop Hunt’.
More than 200 members of the community turned up to meet Sophie and show their support for the Primrose, raising more than £700 in under two hours through the sale of items in the shop.
Sophie is best known for her ‘Nude’ era where she uses her work to convey a powerful message of inclusivity and to celebrate the unique beauty of the female form.
Sophie said: “I can’t believe how many people turned up this week. One of my lovely Nudies from my Waldorf show, Mandy, passed away a few years ago, and the Primrose Hospice did so much for her, so this one was very special.
“Her wonderful husband, daughter, and grandchildren came along, and that meant the world.
“I met so many amazing people and I’m so grateful every week.”
She thanked everyone who turned out and the charity for all the work it did.
As well as supporting the charity at their shop, Sophie has helped in other ways. In 2022, she auctioned an original painting after her show, raising an incredible £4,700 for the Primrose Hospice.
