Please include the following information:
- Address (and any directions that could help our drivers)
- Contact number
- Number of items you wish to donate
- Photos of the items
Photos of the items will really help us to give you a quick answer on whether we are able to accept them or not. Our drivers will also check over the items for any damage before loading into the vans.
If you have any other questions regarding collections, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.
What to donate
You can donate many items to us at any of our locations, including furniture and larger items, but also smaller items and children’s items such as:
- Children’s clothes
- Toys and stuffed animals
- Decorative items, frames, bric-a-brac
- Rugs, carpets, curtains, pillows
- Electrical items like lamps, TVs, game consoles and much more!
Requirements for donating sofas, armchairs, mattresses, or divan beds:
- They must have a fire safety label: When donating sofas, armchairs, mattresses, or divan beds, it is essential that they have a fire safety label attached. Typically, these labels can be found behind the cushions of your sofa.
- Wooden items such as wardrobes, chests of drawers, tables, etc. can be accepted with some damage as our volunteers will enjoy fixing them.
This is what the Fire Safety label should look like on any furniture you wish to donate. If it does not have this label, unfortunately we cannot accept the item.

- Gas appliances
- Electricals that need repair
- Mattresses with any stains
