How to donate items to charity
There are a range of ways to donate to our charity shops, including:
Our free furniture collection service
Our free furniture collection service makes it easy to donate your unwanted furniture items. All you need to do is enter your postcode and we’ll be able to tell you if we can collect your donation.
If we can, we’ll ask you to tell us a bit more about the items you’re donating, and you’ll need to choose a date for your collection. We’ll then get back to you confirming all the details.

You might prefer to bring your donation to one of 400 charity shops instead. If you would like to drop off your donation, please contact your local Sue Ryder shop to check the items they sell and before making your journey.
