Please bag up donations of good quality clothing, bags, shoes, scarves, belts, ties, hats, jewellery, books, CDs, DVDs, records, toys, home furnishings, cooking and dining wares and bric-a-brac and drop them off at your nearest YMCA shop.

You can also post anything from high-quality clothing and accessories to antiques, technology, or jewellery for free.

FREE House Clearance

If you’re looking to clear out your house and have some items that are still in good condition, you might be interested to know that some YMCA shops offer a free house clearance service.

To find out if this is available at a shop near you, you can reach out to them directly. Once you have confirmed that the service is available, you can start preparing your items for collection.

This involves carefully sorting through your belongings and packaging them up securely in bags and boxes. Once everything is ready, you can arrange a convenient date and time for our team to come and collect your items. This is a great option if you’re looking to declutter your home while also supporting a good cause.

Gift Aid

We are part of the HMRC Gift Aid scheme, this means that if you are a UK Taxpayer, paying income or capital gains tax, we can claim an extra 25% on your donations.

When you first donate to our stores, please speak to a member of staff and ask sign-up to Gift Aid. This can also be arranged if you are having a home collection.

Gift Aid helps us to maximise your donations, by being able to claim an extra 25p to every £1.
