Donate

We rely on generous donations of saleable clothing, books and homeswares in our shops.

We always need donations of saleable:

• clothing
• footwear
• jewellery and accessories
• books
• cds, dvds, record
• homewares

Donations of high value items are also welcomed and we will always strive to maximise your gift. Particularly high value or unique items are typically sent to auction in London or sold online at our eBay shop.

We can accept donations at any of our 19 high street shops, but please do not leave donations outside the shop when we are closed - they are likely to be stolen or damaged.

We are unable to accept donations of:

• large furniture
• knitting needles, knives or other sharp objects
• electrical items

 

Whenever you donate goods to the Octavia Foundation charity shops, please make sure to gift aid your donations - this allows us to claim an additional 25% on their sold price from the government at no extra cost to you. Click here for more information or ask instore.

If you wish to donate a large quantity of goods, we can sometimes arrange for our driver to collect from addresses in west and central London - contact Asha Chandragiri for more information.
