How to donate items

 

The money raised from selling good in our shops is used to provide physical, social, emotional and spiritual care to patients, carers and families throughout West Kent and East Sussex.

We always welcome donations of:

  • Clothing
  • Homewares
  • Books
  • CDs and DVDs
  • Jewellery and accessories
  • New and old mobile phones
  • Furniture
  • Unwanted gifts

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can help raise even more money by completing a Gift Aid form when you make a donation of goods, enabling Hospice in the Weald to reclaim tax worth 25p in every £1 sold. Click here to find out more about Gift Aid and download a form.

Unfortunately, there are some things we can't sell for safety or legal reasons. If you're not sure about the items you're donating, please check our list below or ask your local Hospice in the Weald Shop.
