We have very limited storage space at our halls, and are therefore limited to the amount of donations we can accept.
- We are currently accepting donations of women's and children's clothes.
- We are not able to take donations of furniture or larger items.
What happens to your donations?
We operate a 3 tier system:-
- We will seek to match any donation with a person we know is currently in need of that item.
- We will put the item into our Pop Up Charity Shop, which we hold monthly.
- If we do not have someone in need of the item, or it is not suitable for the Pop Up Shop, or has not sold in the Pop Up Shop then we have it collected by a recycling company for which we receive payment.
Therefore as far as possible your donation will benefit someone directly or by enabling us to raise funds for our community work. This system has resulted in us dramatically reducing the amount of material we throw away as rubbish. This helps us to meet one of our priorities of 'caring for God's creation.'
