We love furniture, bric a brac, art, clothing and anything we think we can sell to Save Sight. Change Lives. Unfortunately there are some items we can’t take, which we can let you know about as part of our free assessment.

We’ll carry out a free assessment beforehand to let you know if there’ll be a charge attached to the service.

There is usually only a cost attached to items we collect but can’t sell. In the past this has been anything between £0 – and £500.

Charging in this way also helps us to cover the cost of running the vans, the congestion charge and paying the experienced staff who’ll process your kind donation.

Yes. Our local collection service is available if you simply have a couple of items of furniture or a large amount of clothing to donate.

We do ask that you only book a slot for clothing you’re confident we can sell in our shops, otherwise we’re out of pocket as a charity, which will detract from the important work we can fund to Save Sight. Change Lives.

House clearances can take anything from between an hour and two days. Once you’re happy with the amount we’ve quotes for the collection (if anything), we will organise the time you’d like us to arrive. We’ll also work with you to make sure its at a time you can be present during the clearance. We like to do it this way to ensure we take everything you’d like to donate but nothing you wouldn’t!

Once your house clearance is complete, we’ll take everything away and make sure it’s sold in our high street shops or in our ecommerce shops (eBay etc) to ensure you donation raises the maximum funds.

It’s usually a friendly team of two to three members of staff, who all undergo DBS checks. Our team are experienced at getting things packaged away with care and efficiency, working in your home or property with minimum disturbance. 

That said they do always appreciate being offered a cup of tea!

We try to keep collections and house clearances within a five-mile radius of our shops. We’ve conducted house clearances for everything from flats in West Norwood, to mansions in Chelsea.

We’ll ask for key details beforehand, including how many flights of stairs you have, whether there’s lift access, on-street parking, and also whether your furniture fits through the doors! We’ll also request you sign up to Gift Aid as part of your donation, as this adds 25% to the amount we can raise for each item we sell, but we can walk you through the process.

Please do give some thought to parking beforehand, perhaps you have visitor permits we could make us of? We’ve had some heart-breaking situations before, where we’ve been unable to conduct a house clearance because there’s been no-where to park our van legally.

We’re one of the smaller charities out there, so we really appreciate all donation that help us to Save Sight. Change Lives.

Every pound we raise helps us to fund life-enriching social projects for people living with sight loss, as a well as scientific research to tackle to causes of vision loss. You can read more about what we do here >

We try to be as flexible as we can, but our hard-working vans and staff are often needed between our charity shops across London and beyond. Please do speak to our team and we'll try to accommodate you, so it’s a service that works for everyone.
