Our Hospice charity shops may not necessarily have the space to accept and store donations, especially larger ones. If you are making a special trip to donate, we would advise you to call us before you leave.
Donate directly to our Warehouse
Our Hospice Warehouse is the best place for you to deliver your donations. It has lots of free parking and the team will be happy to help you unload your vehicle. It also reduces our costs and helps the environment as we move all donations to the Warehouse to be sorted regardless of where they were donated.
Take a look at our warehouse opening times and address details.
