Donate Goods
The sale of donated items in our shops helps to raise the funds we need to provide care to patients and loved ones.
If you would like to donate, find out how by searching for your nearest shop, or our warehouse, on our interactive map.
If you’d like to give an item of furniture, click the link below. Please do not take furniture to a shop or to the warehouse in Leigh Sinton.
The quality of our care depends on the quality of your donations. For advice on what we can and can’t accept, see our Quality Donation Guide.
Make your donation count
You can help make a difference to our care by giving your good quality, preloved items for us to sell in our shops.
We are always in need of good quality donations and are so grateful for the items we receive. But, we face a significant, and growing, problem which affects the whole charity shop sector – disposing of unsaleable donations.
Disposal of dirty, torn, incomplete and broken items which we cannot sell or recycle costs us thousands each year. You can help combat this problem by making sure you give clean, undamaged and complete items to our shops.
Take a look at the booklet below to find out which items we can and can’t accept, and make your donation count for our care. Thank you.
Listen to our Commercial Director, Dan Corns, explain why it’s so important to ensure you donate good quality items for our shops to resell. You can also watch Dan give a guided tour of our donations processing warehouse in Leigh Sinton, filmed in summer 2019
Where to donate
If you would like to donate, you can take your items to one of our shops across Worcestershire, or warehouse in Leigh Sinton.
Dates and guidelines for donating vary between stores, so please check the details for your nearest shop on our interactive map.
Donations can also be taken to a container outside the hospice in Wildwood Drive, Worcester. Please call the hospice Reception on 01905 763963 before travelling to ensure the container is open. It is usually open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm.
The sale of donated items in our shops helps to raise the funds we need to provide care to patients and loved ones across Worcestershire. Thank you for your support.
Make your donation count for hospice care
We rely on the generosity of our community donating much-needed items to sell in our 18 shops across Worcestershire.
Without this important support, we couldn’t have raised the £795,000 net towards the overall running costs of St Richard’s Hospice in 2023/24.
We are always in need of good quality donations and are so grateful for the goods we receive.
But, we face a significant, and growing problem affecting the whole charity shop sector – disposing of unsaleable donations.
Disposal of dirty, torn, incomplete and broken items comes with a hefty price tag.
In 2019/20 it cost us at least £22,950 to dispose of items we could not sell, or recycle. We think you’ll agree, this problem is rubbish.
We recycle as many unwanted items as possible to minimise the amount going to landfill. But – for those items we cannot recycle or sell to rag merchants, we must foot the bill.
You can help make a difference by only donating quality items to our shops. Ask yourself, would you expect a friend to buy this? Thank you for your support.
