Should you want to donate items for sale in the shop, please drop them into us during opening hours. We must ask that you don’t leave donations outside the shop when we are closed.
We also raise vital funds by selling old clothes and shoes for recycling. So if you have clean clothing that you thought was too worn out for us to sell, just label the bag as rag and drop off in store.
We run a FREE collection service from certain locations. Click on the Collection & Delivery section to read more.
