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.
Post-lockdown plan for re-opening shops and re-launching collections
If you've requested or booked a collection and have a question, please contact us here.
Please note: Due to a very high volume of collection requests, it may take some time for our collections team to get back to you to confirm your collection. Thank you for your patience while we do our best to catch up.
Bookings for donation collections have now resumed. Click here to request your socially distanced, covid-secure donation collection.
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.
Here is a summary of the initial dates for the opening of HARP's charity shops and the re-launch of our collections service post-lockdown:
Currently open:

Please do not leave donations outside our charity shops at this time as we do not have the staff or volunteers available to remove and sort through your donations and they will go to waste. We appreciate your desire to donate, so please hold onto your donation and it will be gratefully received when our shops reopen.
