About our donation centres

Salvation Army donation centres are all about community and affordability. Each donation centre has a similar look and feel, all offer a large shopping area with furniture, homeware, fashion and electricals, as well as 24-7 clothing banks at each site. We reuse and repurpose locally, including larger items and white goods that smaller high street stores are not able to accommodate. But it’s the focus on the community that makes each donation centre special to the people it serves.

Beds, mattresses, sofa beds, pine wardrobes, curtains new and used plus much more. Please note – we will accept mattresses as long as they are in good condition and pillows if they are new.
