A Volunteer With Us

Our charity shop is part of Purple House’s mission to empower women and support families in crisis. 

Every item sold helps fund our services, including domestic abuse support, affordable legal advice, safe housing, childcare, and training opportunities. 

By donating, shopping, or volunteering with us, you’re directly helping women escape abuse, rebuild their lives, and move forward with confidence.

Secondhand. Sustainable. Special.
