Our charity shop
Visit our shop
Our charity shop on Horseferry Road in Westminster sells a changing range of good quality clothing, books, homeware, accessories and other donated items.
Whether you are looking for something affordable, unique or sustainable, every item you buy helps fund the Centre’s work.
By shopping with us, donating items or volunteering your time, you are helping fund practical support that brings greater stability and opportunity for the future.
We are open Monday to Friday, between 10am and 4pm.
Donate items to the shop
Donating your preloved items is a simple way to support the Centre’s work, declutter your home, and reduce waste at the same time!

- Bags and accessories
- Bric-a-brac including ornaments, glassware and crockery

Please only donate items that are clean, safe and suitable for resale.

Gift Aid your donations
If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase the value of your donated items at no extra cost by completing a Gift Aid declaration.
This allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 raised from the sale of your donated goods.
Speak to us to find out how to do this.
Volunteer in the shop
Our charity shop volunteers play an important role in helping the shop run day to day.
Volunteering can be a good way to build confidence, meet people, gain retail experience and support your local community. You could help with:
- Serving customers
- Sorting and pricing donations
- Creating displays
- Organising stock
- Keeping the shop welcoming and tidy
You will be part of a friendly and supportive team while helping raise funds that support young people, children and families across Westminster.
How the shop helps our work
Money raised through the charity shop helps fund practical support across the Centre, including housing advice, immigration advice, employment support, family services and supported accommodation for young adults.
Because our teams are all under one roof, we can support people facing multiple challenges in one place and build long-term relationships that help create lasting stability.
