Shelter
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and lega…l services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help.
We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
We love donations of high quality, second-hand items! Whether you’re making space in your wardrobe by getting rid of old clothes, freeing yourself of unwanted books, or just having a bit of a clear out, bring your pre-loved goods down to our shop.

Volunteer with us
Our Shelter shops simply cannot run without our incredible volunteers. If you’d like to do something valuable with your spare time, while picking up new skills and gaining retail experience, volunteering a few hours in a Shelter shop could be right for you.
Volunteering for just a few hours a week can make a huge difference. To join our fantastic team, register your interest on the Better Impact website.
