How to donate your pre-loved items

We have shops and superstores across the UK all needing stock.

Some of the items that you can donate are:

  • clothing and footwear

  • jewellery and accessories

  • homeware and kitchenware

  • antiques and collectables

  • toys

  • leisure and outdoor items

  • furniture and electricals (in select shops and superstores)

Occasionally, due to stock supply and demand, there may be situations where we aren’t able to accept items from certain categories which is at the discretion of our transport and shop teams.

Retail Gift Aid

At no extra cost to you we can claim Gift Aid on the items you donate to our shops. That’s an extra 25p for every £1 sold towards funding our vital research.

Items we can’t accept

While we appreciate all donations, there are some we cannot sell and we have to pay for their disposal.
