Your kind donations make a lasting difference to

Donation Boxes

We are very grateful for donations that are in good condition and that we can pass on to people in need. We cannot accept items that we know we will not be able to use.  

​

To minimise disposal costs to our charity, those items we cannot accept will need to be taken away with you to donate to a charity shop or to take to the recycle centre. 

​

Due to health and safety regulations, there are some items we are not allowed to accept. The table below will show you what we can and cannot accept.

 

If you are unsure if your item is suitable, please contact us to check so that we can avoid any unnecessary expenses for the charity in disposing of unusable items. We are only able to accept donations via appointment and can only accept the items listed below.
