Donation of Goods

We can also make use of toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, shower gel, etc.) and nappies - but only new ones please! Unfortunately we are unable to redistribute car seats, electrical items or older style clothing and we cannot accept donations of furniture.

Your donations will be sorted and then given straight out to local families who are unable to provide such goods for themselves. We do not have the resources to clean or repair soiled or damaged items, so good quality, clean items only please.

In October we also start collecting for our Children at Christmas Project, where we provide substantial parcels of food to families and parcels of brand new and as-good-as-new toys and gifts for every child. At this time of year we need donations of non-perishable food: tins of meat, fish, vegetables and fruit; biscuits; cakes; chocolates & sweets; pasta & rice; soups, etc. Please ensure that all food is well within its sell-by-date! We also need donations of new and good quality second-hand toys, children's/teen books, games, gifts for teenagers, stocking fillers and children's videos & DVDs. We have to sort every donation to ensure that each child we help receives a balanced parcel of Christmas presents, so please do not wrap your Christmas donations.

How to make your donation of goods

You can either drop off your donations at Wood Street during office hours (8:30 am - 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday) or you can telephone us and arrange for a collection from your home or place of work. Please see Collections for more details.
