Donate to our shops
St Catherine’s is incredibly grateful for the wonderful donations of pre-loved clothes, accessories, toys, homeware and furniture that we receive.
We are able to receive donations at most of our shops, but please note that we are currently unable to accept donations at the following stores: Ashton general charity shop, Chorley general charity shop, Lostock Hall, Penwortham, and The Mill Shop. The Donation Centre behind the hospice remains closed as we reduce footfall around the site.
To make arrangements for the collection of furniture, please call 07923172880.
What can we accept?
We’re happy to accept:
- Men’s and women’s clothing and shoes
- Children’s clothing, non cuddly toys and games
- Good quality furniture (sofas and armchairs must have fire labels)
- Unwanted gifts
- Books, DVDs, CDs and vinyl
- Bric a brac, crockery, glassware, bakeware, household linen and ornaments in good condition

Gift aid your donations
We can make your wonderful donations go further for St Catherine’s when you gift aid them. If you’re a UK tax payer, it means we can make an extra 25p for every £1 your goods sell for.
All you have to do is complete a form when you donate your goods and we will do the rest. You can also download the form here if you’d like to fill it out in advance.
We’ll even give you a Gift Aid ‘Card for Life’ when you sign up with a unique donor ID which we can simply scan every time you donate to us.
