Charity shop donations

Lymington Oakhaven shop

Many thanks for donating items to Oakhaven Hospice charity shops

We are grateful to everyone who generously donates bags of good-quality preloved items for our shops and online stores to sell. Our retail shops, online store and furniture outlet centre are an important source of income for Oakhaven Hospice. Every penny raised is used to fund the specialist care and support to our patients and their loved ones when they need it most.

What can be donated to our charity shops?

We are very grateful for any good-quality donations you can donate as our charity shops rely on your good-quality donated items. Unfortunately, there are certain items we are unable to accept due to Health and Safety regulations or lack of public demand.

Did you know? We only make money from things that we are able to re-sell and we have to pay to deal with donated items which are broken, damaged or heavily used. Please check the lists below before bringing in your donations.

charity shop can donate
  • Ladies' and men’s clothes, shoes and accessories
  • Children's clothes, shoes and accessories
  • Ornaments, china and glassware in good, clean condition
  • Modern paperback books
  • Vintage and retro items
  • Toys
  • CDs and DVDs
  • Unwanted gifts
  • Small electrical appliances

  • White electrical goods
  • Upholstered furniture without a fire label or no longer in a clean sellable condition

Please note: occasionally we need to limit the volume of donations to ensure we have sufficient staff and volunteers to sort through the items. (Could you help? Volunteers play a vital role in the success of our charity shops and we are always looking for additional help. If you could give the gift of time, find out more information in our volunteering section.)
