Declutter and donate your items
From clothes and accessories to books, toys and more, we need your unwanted items to help fund our life-changing support. With handy drop off points at every shop, donating your unwanted items couldn’t be easier.
If you are decluttering, you can simply drop your quality clothes, handbags and jewellery to unwanted gifts, homeware, books and toys to us.

Items we can and cannot accept
We are grateful for all donations received, no matter how large or small. We can accept the following donations to our shops:
- Mens, women's and children's clothes and accessories
- Homeware/bric-a-brac
- Books and DVDs
- Games
- Toys
- Small furniture
- Small electronics
More unusual items such as sports equipment, musical instruments and home furnishings are also welcomed. Some items, such as bicycles, furniture that has fire safety labels and mobile phones may also be accepted depending on their condition, but it's best to call ahead first.
Unfortunately, for health and safety reasons we are unable to accept the following:
- Identifiable school uniforms
- Car seats
- Mattresses
- Soft toys without the CE label
- Used pillows and duvets
- Furniture without fire safety labels
- Electric blankets
- Sunbeds and tanning equipment
- Waste disposal units
- Used earrings/piercings
- Knives
- Safety helmets/Safety harnesses
- Cycle helmets
- Life jackets/Buoyancy aids
- Used paint
- Any COSHH items
It avoids us paying expensive waste disposal costs if all your donations can be handed to a member of staff at the drop off points mentioned above, rather than left outside our shops. Please also consider the quality of all your donations... if an item is in a condition you would happily buy yourself we would love to have it, otherwise please dispose of it another way. Thank you!
Gift Aid your donated items!
Did you know, you can boost the value of your donations by 25% at no cost to you?
Gift Aid is one of the easiest ways that you can support Deafblind UK – and it doesn’t cost you anything! It is a Government scheme that allows us to claim an additional 25p for every £1 that you donate.
To help us take advantage of Gift Aid, we will ask you for some personal details when you bring your donations in. This information will only be used to claim Gift Aid and we will not share your data with anyone else.
Volunteering
Have you got an eye for detail and a passion for retail? We are looking for volunteers to help in our shops, you don’t have to have any experience, just a little bit of time to give.
