How it works
By selling what’s donated, our shop sales provide valuable funds towards supporting people with disability. Occasionally we receive items we can’t sell, so we’ve created the following list to help guide our generous donors.

Donations can be received at our stores during our opening hours.

We accept sewing and knitting machines, overlockers and other machines that are in good working order
