As you are all well aware Covid-19 is having an impact on everyone.
As a result of a heavy drop in trade it is no longer possible for us to keep our Harbour Parade store open. This store was closed on Sunday 29th March 2020 and we hope to be able to re-open again soon.
Our other two stores remain open! Please pay us a visit we do have good stock levels on most products.
As you are all well aware Covid-19 is having an impact on everyone. We just wanted to update all of our customers on what we are doing:

It has come round again! Yes its our annual Toy Donation to Southampton Children’s Ocean Ward, over the last few years this is one definitely one of our most favourite tasks. It’s hard to believe that another year has passed! After our donation last year it really made us realise just how lucky we all are. We here at Parkview Retail Ltd cannot think of a better way to spend over £900! (Yes we did go a bit crazy this year!).
Having been given the big tour of the Ocean Ward, I have to say it is an amazing place to visit run by a group of very hard working staff. The bright and welcoming environment has been carefully designed to put children at ease, and includes beds, quiet rooms and kitchen facilities for parents to stay with their children during these crucial times. Anyone with children knows how important this is, to stay close to your sick child, just to be close.
Needless to say, the children make good use of any games and toys to help while away the time and keep them positive. Children on the ward accumulate gold stars for their participation in hospital procedures; anything from blood tests to operations. After a certain number of stars, the children can choose a new toy to play with and eventually take home with them.
This donation has been made possible by all those 5p carrier bags you have all bought! Together with you, Parkview Retail is committed in helping the local community.
We cannot wait until next year!
We were approached by Michael Baker and the team from the Cardiac Lab Unit at Southampton General Hospital. They need to raise funds to make improvements! Please see the Thank You Letter!

We were approached by Michael Baker and the team from the Cardiac Lab Unit at Southampton General Hospital. They need to raise funds to make improvements!
The Cardiac Catheter Labs at University Hospital Southampton provides a range of services for all ages of patients ranging from babies that are a couple of days old to adults in their eighties and nineties. We cover the South Coast of the United Kingdom which includes the Isle of Wight, Channel Islands and as part of the Oxford and Southampton Network we also look after patients as far as Berkshire, Oxford, Northampton and Milton Keynes. The Cardiac Catheter Lab Unit comprises of a reception and recovery area and four labs that provide services from Paediatric diagnostic and interventional catheters, emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), Electrophysiology study and insertion of Permanent Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD’s).
The Cardiac Catheter Lab Unit is set up for adult patients and is not a very child friendly environment. We are hoping to create a new and exciting paediatric reception and recovery area within the department, with the aim to make a scary environment fun to be in and enhance the children’s experience during their stay. We understand that this can be both a frightening and anxious time for children and their families, so would like to make this area bright and colourful and provide entertainment to distract them. It also needs to be functional for both children and young adults with congenital heart conditions.
We need to raise around £800 to £1000 to create a designated paediatric reception and recovery area for children and young adults to use both pre and post procedure. The money will be used to decorate and provide equipment like a Television and DVD player, DVD’s, toys, books and sensory equipment to make the area a more welcoming and safe environment.
So we have donated £1,000.00 to give them a real kick start to the fund raising process!
