How to donate pre-loved items

We welcome your pre-loved donations, which help us to raise valuable funds. Due to space and storage limits, our shops are only able to accept delivery of two bags of pre-loved goods per person.

Large donations are accepted by appointment only at our Donation Centre situated at Unit 1, Queensway Avenue South, St Leonards-on-Sea, TN38 9AG. If you would like to arrange a drop-off appointment, please call us on 01424 728728, Monday to Friday from 9am – 1pm.

Pre loved Furniture

Our furniture delivery team are available to collect donations of good quality pre-loved furniture free of charge. Should you wish to donate please call the Donation Centre on 01424 728728 Monday to Friday to arrange a viewing or e-mail photos of the furniture you wish to donate to retail@stmichaelshospice.com and we will contact you.

We politely ask you to not leave donations outside our shops or the Donation Centre as we are unable sell these items, incurring a cost for their disposal. This means the Hospice loses vital funds.

Register your donation for Gift Aid

Using Gift Aid means that for every £1, 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.
