Fundraise & Get Involved

We need to raise over £8 million every year to provide outstanding Hospice care to the local community. To get involved with our fundraising activities, design your own, or make a donation, use the information on this page.

Your Donations

Room full of boxes packed up

We’re extremely grateful for your donations. Thank you.

The money raised by our shops contributes significantly to the running costs of Hospice in the Weald.  In fact, every year our shops alone generate more funding for Hospice in the Weald to care for patients with a terminal illness, their families and carers, than we receive from the government.

Gift Aid your donations and increase their value

If you are a UK tax payer and choose the option to also register for Gift Aid then you’ll be able to increase the sale value of those items by 25%, at no extra cost to you. Meaning we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 your donations sell for. Gift Aid is important to us and means that your donations can give so much more.

Bring your furniture donations to our shops or arrange a collection

We rely on the generosity of our supporters to continue providing vital care for patients and those closest to them. Thanks to you, our shops are filled with wonderful items—unique finds, great bargains, and hidden treasures that help us raise essential funds.

If you have donations simply bring them to any of our shops and our team will be delighted to receive them!

If you’re unable to drop furniture items off yourself, we offer a limited free collection service or we can recommend a trusted local delivery company who can collect your items and deliver them to one of our furniture shops at a competitive price.

What items do you accept?

We accept all saleable items. By saleable we mean items that aren’t broken, damaged or soiled in any way. In a condition you’d be happy paying for pre-loved items.

When it comes to soft furnishings we require Fire Safety Labels to be able to sell these to customers.

Please see our donation guidance for more information.

Do I need to book a slot to donate my items?

You don’t need to book a slot, you can arrive at any time during our opening hours. We ask that no one leaves items outside the shop.

If you have lots of donations it might be helpful to call the shop ahead of arriving so that they can make room if needed.

Do you collect donations?

We offer a limited furniture collection service carried out by our team, we do also use third parties who can collect your furniture at a competitive price.

We are not able to collect other donations from you and ask that you drop these off with us at one of our shops.
