Donations

We accept most donations of goods, but unfortunately cannot take video tapes, large white goods, kitchen knives or television sets.

Even if we cannot sell your items in our shops, we can recycle them for money, so if you have very worn clothes to donate we welcome them! For larger donations please go to the back of the shops and ring the bell on the back gate.

Volunteer

We have opportunities for volunteers at both of our charity shops. For information, please visit our Charity Shop Vacancies page.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we strive to act ethically and with integrity in all of our business dealings and relationships to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or at any of our contractors. We shall also ensure our approach and stance is clear with our partner organisations.
