Donations to our stores

Our stores are open Monday – Saturday, 10am-6pm, and Sundays from 11am-5pm. Donations can be dropped off during their opening hours. If you wish to make a large donation and are unable to donate these items to your local shop, we are able to offer a collection service. 

What we can receive

Our shops rely on the generosity of local people and businesses for their donations of good quality saleable goods. Donating items you no longer need or want to charity is a sustainable and ethical means of recycling and the money raised from the sale of your goods will go to support our work with local people during times or personal difficulty or crisis.

We are grateful to receive any donation, however large or small, but there are some items that we are unable to accept. The lists of items that we can and can't receive are for illustration only - if you are unsure as to whether we are able to accept your donation, please contact your local charity shop directly.
