Arrange a furniture collection

Some of our superstores take good-quality furniture donations. You can call or visit your local superstore who can take a booking over the phone or in person. Or you can book online if it's easier.

Items we can’t accept

While we appreciate all donations, there are some we cannot sell and we have to pay for their disposal.

Corporate donations

Donate your end-of-line or unsold stock and samples to us as a cost-effective way to clear storage space. Or you can set up a donation station in your office.

Set up a Donation Station

A Donation Station is a drop-off point where people can bring their quality pre-loved items to donate. You can then take your donation bags to your nearest shop, during opening hours. This saves us money on collection costs.

Retail Gift Aid

At no extra cost to you we can claim Gift Aid on the items you donate to our shops. That’s an extra 25p for every £1 sold towards funding our vital research.
