Donating Goods to Our Shops
Click here for the locations of all the Iain Rennie shops.
The Iain Rennie shops contribute more than half a million pounds each year towards providing our nursing services. Almost all of this income is raised from sales of goods donated by our supporters. All our shops are run by dedicated teams of volunteers supported by local shop managers.
We sell good quality items at very reasonable prices and our shops have a reputation for being great places to pick up a bargain.
Our shops give us a vital presence in the towns and villages throughout our area and act as a focus for the communities where we work, involving local people as volunteers and acting as a point of contact for supporters and shoppers.
We also have a very successful Iain Rennie eBay shop which enables us to realise higher prices for certain types of goods and collectibles.
We welcome donations at all our shops and offices of good quality clothing, shoes, toys, jewellery bric-a-brac, most household goods, books, curtains, haberdashery, videos, DVDs, CDs, computer games and furniture.
If you have a large amount of goods to deliver, it may be worth contacting the shop in advance to arrange a convenient time. If you have large or bulky items to donate, we may be able to arrange for one of our vans to collect from you.
IRHH can now claim an extra 28% in Gift Aid on the value of goods donated to our charity shops. Click here to find out how this works.
We aim to recycle any items that can not be sold, and recycling now plays a major part in our shops operation and makes a major contribution to our shops income.
Regrettably, we are unable to accept beds, upholstered items (such as sofas which do not comply with current fire regulations) and large electrical items (such as fridges and washing machines).
If you have a question about donating goods to our shops, please contact your nearest shop, or the Iain Rennie Retail & Trading office on 01442 827699, shops@irhh.org
