Beacons, known locally as the Beacon Centre for the Blind, is a heartwarming presence in Halesowen. Nestled in Churchill House on Hagley Street, this welcoming charity outlet offers more than just second-hand treasures—it’s a space where community spirit and kindness come together. From pre-loved books and homewares to bric-a-brac and clothing, every item has been generously donated, helping to support the vital work of the centre.

Stepping inside Beacons, you’ll often find both regulars and new faces browsing the varied shelves, exchanging smiles, fashion finds, and friendly conversation. Complementing the shopping experience, the onsite Reflections Coffee Shop provides a calm and pleasant spot to relax with a hot drink and cake—making a trip to Beacons as much about connection as it is about shopping.

Beyond its retail role, Beacons embodies a strong social purpose. It channels proceeds back into services for the visually impaired community, helping to fund support networks, raise awareness, and build inclusivity. For many, it’s not just a shop—it’s a welcoming cornerstone of local care, where small purchases carry big impact.
