Donate goods

Farleigh Hospice Shops rely on quality donated items to keep going.  From furniture to clothes to children's toys & games - if you have quality items they are very much appreciated.  Roughly 1 in 4 patients at Farleigh Hospice are cared for by funds raised through our shops and your donations enable this care.

When considering donating to Farleigh Hospice, please ask yourself the following crucial question - 'Would I buy this item?'  If the honest answer is no, then quite probably no-one else would either, and rather than making money for the hospice your item could cost us money in disposal.

If you feel that you have an item / items that would be beneficial to the hospice, you can take them to any one of our shops or, if you have larger items that might need collection or if you are unsure whether we can accept a particular item, please call 01376 509112.
