Donate goods and items
Drop off much-needed items at our local collection points or directly at our warehouse
Everyday items like food, toiletries and clothing make a big difference for those facing hardship and homelessness. Book a drop-off time at our donation point, or use one of our local collection points.
On this page
Donated food, clothing and toiletries go directly to people in immediate need.
By helping them to meet their basic needs then we can work with them to address the underlying issues they are facing and support them towards a better future. Whether someone is sleeping rough, fleeing violence or being forced to make the tough decision between heating their home and feeding themselves, these small things many of us take for granted can make a big difference.
Donation warehouse
To make donating easy, we use a simple booking system – just pick a slot, share your contact details and we’ll confirm via email.
