We are an independent charity and rely on donations from our community for the majority of our income, with the remainder funded by the NHS.
We are so grateful to everyone who chooses to donate, raise funds, or leave a legacy in support of our care. We couldn’t do what we do without your help.
If you would like assistance in making your donation please email our Fundraising Team, or call them on 01905 958262. Alternatively, take a look at our FAQs below.
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.
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.
