Donate your goods
Whether you’re decluttering or giving your items a second life, every donation helps us continue providing round‑the‑clock care for local people with life‑limiting illnesses.
Your donated goods make a real difference
Your donated goods help fund vital, compassionate hospice care for people and families across Pontefract, Castleford, Featherstone, Normanton and Knottingley.
Our charity shops depend on the generosity of local supporters, and an average bag of good quality donations can be worth as much as £50, enough fund a therapy session, giving someone emotional support when life feels overwhelming.
Where to donate your items
You can drop off your pre loved goods at any Hospice shop during opening hours.
We have multiple shops across the Five Towns area, including our popular stores in Pontefract, Castleford and surrounding communities. For a full list of locations, simply visit our shop directory.
