If you have anything you wish to donate, please drop off at the centre Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 10.00am and 3.00pm. Currently we are unable to do home collections. The shop is open on Tuesday and Thursday (10.00am to 1.00pm).

There are some other items we cannot sell for safety or legal reasons. If in doubt, please ask before donating.
Please help us to help the people of Preston Road Estate by donating clean and undamaged goods; the money raised in the charity shop is essential income to keep the women’s centre open
