How can I help the Project?
You can help us in a number of ways:
- Donating useable furniture, electrical appliances and household goods.
- Spending a few hours each week volunteering with us.
- Making a cash donation towards our work.
- Shopping at the Project to support us.
Can you collect the items I want to donate?
If an item is too large to bring to us, we are able to collect larger items with our own van and crew – please ring us to arrange a mutually convenient time, between 10am - 4pm on a weekday. Please note we normally book 7-14 days in advance.
Although we offer this as a free service, there are significant costs in providing a collection service. Following a recent significant reduction in our grant funded support we are now forced to request that donors make a voluntary contribution towards the cost of the collection. It currently costs an average of £15 for our vehicles to complete each collection. If you would like to make a donation please advise a member of our Staff when booking your collection.
