Donate goods

Make a donation to our charity shops, give pre-loved goods a new home and support us in delivering specialised care to babies, children and young adults across central southern England.

Our shops accept donations of your pre-loved items. Please call your nearest shop if you have any further questions about what you can donate.

Whether you’ve been busy decluttering and have goods you no longer need, or clothes you no longer wear, we would be very grateful to receive your donations to help stock our charity shops! By donating your items you are supporting our hospices in caring for over 600 local families. See below, what items we can and cannot accept as donations in our charity shops.

Donations we can accept

We welcome good quality, clean donations in a saleable condition. Items can be donated at any of our shops (Mon-Sat) or brought to our warehouse (weekdays). Please take a look below for a list of items we can accept.

  • Our charity shops welcome womenswear, menswear and children's clothes as long as they are in good condition. This means they may have signs of wear, but without holes or stains.

    Make sure to check the pockets of clothing before donating!

  • Shoes, handbags, hats, jewellery, belts, scarves, ties and other accessories.

  • Our charity shops welcome bric-a-brack donations such as ornaments, paintings, pictures, vases, dishware, decorations, memorabilia and collectables.

  • You can donate bikes to Recycle Bike Hub located in our donation centre in Winnall, Winchester. The bike should be in a relatively good condition, so our team of volunteers can refresh or repair them to create a bike that is "fit to ride". The workshop team can accept children's, adult, project bikes or bike parts.

    You can arrange to drop off your bikes at our warehouse in Winchester, by giving our team a call. You can also drop in during opening hours. Please visit Recycle Bike Hub for additional information.

  • Our charity shops accept books. This includes novels, biographies, up-to-date reference and travel books and maps.

    We also accept video games and ​​​​CDs if they are in good condition.

  • Our charity shops will take toy donations. This includes toys, games and puzzles that are complete and in good condition. All donated toys must have a safety mark or CE / UKCA label.

  • Our charity shops take some electrical goods such as radios, CD and DVD players, lamps, cameras, and flat screen TVs with a remote control.

    Please see a list of items we cannot accept further down the page for more information.

Please call your local Naomi and Jack's charity shop to check what donations they are accepting near you. Sometimes we are unable to accept donations as our backrooms are already full of generous donations, and this could pose a health and safety risk.
