“No day is the same here, every day is an adventure for sure.”
Billy works at our Selly Oak shop on Heeley Road and says it’s great to be located so close to the hospice on Raddlebarn Road.
He said: “No day is the same here, every day is an adventure for sure.
“It’s really nice to be able to go home and think to yourself, the time I’ve given up today has gone towards helping someone at the hospice.”
