Boxmove manages all our furniture collections, they specialise in charity retail logistics and ensure your items are moved safely and efficiently while our team focuses on what they do best – preparing and selling stock to raise money for the Hospice.

If you would like guidance before booking, you can contact our Donation Centre on 01424 728728 (Monday–Friday).

Shops

Due to space and storage limits, our shops are only able to accept donations of two bags or boxes of pre-loved items per person.

We politely ask you to not leave donations outside of our shops as we are unable to accept these items due to the risk of contamination, which makes the items unsuitable for sale and incurs a cost for disposal.

Donation Centre

Our Donation Centre, situated at Unit 1, Queensway Avenue South, St Leonards-on-Sea, TN38 9AG, accepts large donations Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am – 1pm. There is no need to make an appointment and the Centre is closed on Wednesdays.

Please call us on 01424 728728 for more information.

Register your donation for Gift Aid

Registering for Gift Aid enables the hospice to raise additional funds from your pre-loved donations. For every £1 your items raise, St Michael’s Hospice will receive an extra 25p from HM Revenue & Customs*. This means every £10 raised becomes £12.50 at no extra cost to you.

If you wish to sign up, the process only takes a few minutes and we are happy to do this at all of our retail shops and Donation Centre. For more information, please see https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid.
