It is possible to make donations outside of these hours, if you can call us to arrange.

We are not able to accept duvets and pillows. And we cannot accept pre-cooked food.

We ask you to bear in mind that our vehicles are very costly to run and therefore it is not possible for us to collect small donations, unless we can link the collection with others in the area. 

We will very rarely collect from outside the M25, West London, or North London due to the time and cost implications.

We are not able to accept duvets and pillows or household items and furniture. And we cannot accept pre-cooked food.

Rarely. Our entrance is in Maples Place, E1 1BJ and it has parking bays. These are usually full most of the day from 8am

It is possible to park outside of our carpark gates for a short time to unload (in the same road)

If you call us in advance and inform us of your vehicle registration number, we can have the gates open for you to park.

We cannot accept new individual volunteers at the moment. We are able to welcome back our volunteer groups.

We are grateful for the interest in volunteering onsite, but we need to keep volunteers, guests and staff safe.
