Donate to our shops
Donating items to us that we can then sell in our shops really help us raise vital funding to support the fantastic work of the Hospice. We are always looking for high quality items of furniture, clothing, collectables, books, jewellery and general bric-a-brac so if you have anything that you can donate to us we would love to hear from you. 
We also need good quality small electrical items and have a wonderful team of volunteer electricians who work hard testing incoming stock and distributing it out to our 8 shops.
You can take your donations into any of our shops or bring them into the warehouse which is located on Magdalen Street in Colchester behind our furniture shop.
We can arrange to collect larger items of furniture for free with our Hospice van so if you would like more information about this service please call us on 01206 793937.
