We particularly welcome the following clean and saleable donations:

• New, or nearly new clothing and shoes
• Fancy frocks, suits and occasion wear
• Bags e.g. handbags, rucksacks, briefcases and suitcases
• Jewellery including costume jewellery (new or nearly new) and precious metal jewellery (even if it’s broken)
• Homeware such as ornaments, vases & full crockery sets
• Furniture e.g. sofas & beds with mattresses (with fore safety labels) dining sets and bedroom furniture
• Complete gift sets

In short...

We’re fans of pre-loved but not so loved that it’s broken or out of shape!

Do keep donating good quality items. As always - just think before you give: if you wouldn’t give it onto a friend or relative, then it is probably something we would not be able to resell either. Thank you

No thank you...
