FAQs

  • Can you give me a summary of the role?

    • We can now accept small amounts of donations (max. two bags or boxes) at this shop during opening hours, until the space is full. We recommend calling the shop on 01684 294679 before making your donation, to check there is still space to accept items.

    • Please ensure bags and boxes are of a manageable size, and weigh no more than 8kg.
    • To avoid damage, please make sure fragile items are wrapped and not loose.
    • If you gift aid goods, please get labels from the shop and attach to your donations.

    Alternatively, you can take good quality, re-saleable items to one of our other stores. Times, days and donation amounts vary depending on the size of the shop and number of volunteers available. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and generosity.

    The quality of our care depends on the quality of your donations. For advice on what we can and can’t accept, see our Quality Donation Guide.

    Thank you for your generosity and support of our care hospice.
