Looking to donate your furniture to charity? We’ll collect it for free.
Turn your clutter into treasure at our charity shops! Each item you donate can make a huge difference to the lives of local terminally ill children and their families.

Will you help us to help people facing every parent’s worst nightmare?
As a charity, our shops provide 20% of the £3 million income we need each year to keep providing this invaluable support to families facing the unimaginable prospect of losing a child. By donating your unwanted things, you can help us continue to provide the love, care and expertise our families depend on.

Free collection
We’ll arrange a free collection to make your donation as simple as possible.
Before booking your collection
If you’re donating an upholstered item to us, please check that it has a label saying it meets UK safety standards. Mattresses and upholstered bed bases must be in good clean condition with no rips, tears or stains, and must have a fire label sewn in, which refers to BS7177. Toys and electricals must have the CE mark for safety.
Make your donation go further
If you’re a UK taxpayer, you can make your donation go further by filling in a Gift Aid declaration form when you donate things to us. It couldn’t be easier and costs you nothing, but it means we can claim back 25p in tax from every £1 your donation brings in. That adds up to a big difference.
