Who can volunteer at your shops?
Everyone! We’d love you to volunteer with us.

Good quality clothing helps us raise more money that will Save Sight. Change Lives. We don’t sell children’s clothing in our shops but we can accept it to pass it on and stop it going into landfill.

Can I donate furniture?
We love small and mid-sized homeware items (e.g. picture frames, glasses, curtains, side tables).
