Volunteer and donate in Northern Ireland

Keeping people Covid-19 safe

Our retail team is working hard to ensure that customers, volunteers, staff and donors can be as safe as possible in our shops.

This includes providing PPE for staff and volunteers, limiting the number of customers allowed into the shops, and ensuring all newly donated stock is carefully quarantined in line with government guidelines, before being sorted for sale. 

We wouldn’t be able to do it without your help.

• For our customers - We need to limit the number of customers allowed into our shops at any time, and we would ask you to follow the guidance when entering the shop. We would also encourage you to shop alone.
• For our donors – We will be restricting the times we are able to accept donations and would ask you to contact the shop in advance for further information. The contact information for each shop is detailed below. 

Please contact us to check if we can take your donation.

• quality women's, men's and children's clothing
