On Thursday 28th September, Dorothy House opened the doors to a new Bath retail store on London Road.

‘Find Ubiety, from Dorothy House’ is a new lifestyle store, designed to mirror the holistic care and beautiful surroundings of The Hospice itself.

Themed around nature, the new store will stock products and offer treatments designed to support personal wellbeing and help customers create their own calm, unique & definitive space at home.

Adjacent to the existing Dorothy House furniture store, the new Find Ubiety, from Dorothy House is the 27th store in the charity’s retail estate.  All of the Dorothy House retail stores deliver valuable income so that the Hospice can provide free patient and family care for anyone living in our community with a life limiting illness.

Connecting the cause

Rowena Midgley, Head of Retail says:

“Opening a store on London Road in Bath, close to our already popular Furniture Store is an opportunity to raise awareness of the wider cause connection between our Ubiety skincare and home fragrance range and our Hospice services.  Both share the common principle of holistic care and whole wellbeing, both during and at end of life.”

Dorothy House launched the Ubiety range of personal care and home fragrance products in 2020. Developed in partnership with Arcania Apothecary, each product promotes wellbeing and mindfulness through calming and empowering aromatherapy-based formulations inspired by nature – an antidote to busy, modern life.

Hidden treasures, foraged and found, donated and discovered

Ubiety, pronounced ‘you-buy-a-tea’, is from the Latin ‘ubi’ or ‘where’.  Meaning ‘feeling grounded in your own definitive space’, it perfectly encapsulates the retail offering of new and pre-loved goods curated to help create a sense of unique space at home and a unique sense of self, through positive lifestyle choices.

The combination of constantly changing donated goods, local independent brands and carefully sourced new goods will sit sustainably alongside the current Ubiety skin and homecare range. This means the Find Ubiety lifestyle store will offer something new, every day of the week, meaning that customers will be able to unearth new treasures every time they visit. The new store will be a place to discover new items and fresh ideas for making life more beautiful.

Join the new team and volunteer

With the shop opening its doors to Bath and the local community, there are a number of volunteering roles on offer. If you think you can play a rewarding role in connecting our cause to our community and raising vital funds for your local Hospice, our retail team are inviting applications.
