DONATE OLD AND VINTAGE ITEMS
to support specialist end of life care
Sustainability-led fundraising. Turning your old and unused vintage items into donations for Springhill Hospice. Everything you send gets sold or used, nothing ever goes to waste.
Your donation helps Springhill Hospice provide specialist palliative care to patients and their families from diagnosis to end-of-life.
ITEMS YOU CAN SEND TO HELP
They don’t have to be in perfect condition or working. Although, they raise even more money if they are.
Items we do not accept:
Please do not send these items as they will not generate any income for your chosen charity.
Clothes, china, glassware, stamps, postcards, modern toys, modern electronics, furniture, comics, mobile phones and furniture.
A NEW WAY TO HELP
Springhill Hospice first opened its doors back in 1989 and is a 16 bedded purpose-built facility. They encourage patients to maintain independence and control and to make informed choices, whilst respecting privacy and dignity.
They offer advice and support from the time of referral, throughout the illness and into the bereavement period.
Through our FREE and simple service, your old stuff is turned into a much needed donation to Springhill Hospice.
Send us a box full of items and we take care of the rest. Springhill Hospice receives a sum of money based on the value of the items you send in. The more you send, the more money the charity raises.Show less

A SUSTAINABLE WAY TO HELP
Help Springhill Hospice and support their Specialist Palliative Care Unit. Your donated goods will be promoting a more responsible way of living.
Most of the things people send sit in homes for years and then often end up in landfill. By donating your old items, you’ll be giving them a new home and helping more people buy used, instead of new.
We make sure nothing goes to waste. Every donation is sold, repurposed or recycled. Be a part in fuelling the circular economy and start packing up your box.
