Charity shops

Our charity shops play an important role in supporting local people as they takes steps towards a better life away from the streets. As well as generating vital cash to fund our services, they also provide valuable work experience for our service users and residents.

After being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are staggering the opening of HARP charity shops in order to make sure we can do so in a way that is safe for all customers, donors, volunteers and staff. We now have an initial plan for easing out of lockdown on a shop-by-shop basis. This will help us to ensure that we have the chance to prepare each individual shop and make it "Covid Secure" before opening. 

If you want to donate clothing, furniture or other items to HARP, there are a few things you can do first that will help save us time and money. Download our #SortItYourself guidance here.
