We do appreciate that opening times for our Unit are weekdays.

If you are unable to come to our donations unit at the times we are open, please call our Donations Co-ordinator to arrange a suitable time to either have the items collected from your house or a neighbour’s.

Unfortunately, this is something we are unable to do. We have very limited storage and therefore have to limit donations to those items we need and would use within a short timeframe.

If there are any items which are on our wish list we would be happy to have them.

On some occasions we may have surplus items, such as food, that would go out of date before we can use it.

In this case, we contact other local charities to see if these items can support other men and women who are facing financial hardship. For example, we often approach Food banks, Salvation Army and Emmaus to share surplus items.

It is important to keep our Community Hubs and accommodation clean and hygenic. Cleaning products tend to be expensive and are always needed. Your donations help us to save money on purchasing those items.

Furniture will be used across our services to replace or replenish our current furniture. Often when we open new services or create more rooms in our current accommodation, we need to fully kit out a room to ensure the client will feel comfortable and have everything they need.

We also support our clients when they move into independent accommodation to ensure they have everything they need to set up their new home.

Yes we do accept these if they are included on our Wish List. The items must be laundered, stain free and single size.

Our accommodation is for single adults to reside, therefore we do not need any double beds or bedding.
