We rely on the generosity of your donations to keep our charity shops well stocked with quality second-hand items. Please hang on to them for us.  Our shops can only accept three bags or boxes at a time.  Please do not overload the bags or boxes - if you struggle to handle a bag or box then our staff and volunteers will also find it difficult.  If you find yourself with a large quantity of donations then please visit out warehouse, located at 16a Riverway, Newport PO30 5UX. Please give us a call on 01983 217291 for further advice.

You can find out more about when the warehouse is open here. 

All the proceeds from our shops go towards providing services for Island people who are facing death, dying and bereavement.
