Currently not accepting donations

  • Farnworth

Occasionally our shops may have to STOP donations temporarily due to high volume, limited space and short staffed, we do apologise for this inconvenience and will resume accepting as soon as reasonably possible.

To donate your unwanted items you can:

  • Take items to one of our charity shops during the current opening hours.
  • If you have that special item that you wish to donate and feel will raise vital funds for Bolton Hospice, please label the item ‘eBay’ and drop off at our Tonge Moor Road Shop. Alternatively please call our Retail team on 01204 663063 to arrange for the item to be collected.
  • Call to arrange your free home collection on 01204 663063 - please leave a voicemail and we will call you back if we are unable to answer!

Information about donations:

We are very grateful to all those who continue to donate to our shops, but due to the restrictions imposed on waste and our duty of care in ensuring that waste is removed safely, we ask you to please make sure that all your donations of non-clothing items are in good condition, not broken and meet with Trading Standards compliance.

You can see our most up to date list of what items we can and cannot accept by clicking here.

We are also unable to accept any soft-furnishing donations which do not have the original Fire Safety label attached (see below) such as sofas, armchairs, mattresses etc. as we are unable to re-sell these items. 

Fire Resistant labels

Volunteers needed

Now that our charity shops have re-opened, we are in desperate need of volunteers to support our shops and we would love your help!

If you have a few spare hours a week and would like to get involved, we are looking for volunteers to help with our ebay online store and in our charity shops across Bolton.

You can apply now to volunteer at your local hospice shop or with our eBay sales here
