Donating Procedure

We are grateful for all donations; however, please bear in mind a lot of time and resource goes into sorting donations. You can really help us by:

  • Donating the items we need.

  • Donating responsibly and respectfully, we only accept good quality items with no damage (please check items for stains, rips, etc., and ensure zips are working).

  • Washing & folding your items.

  • Placing similar items together.

  • Labelling (if donating clothes, please label with size & gender).
