To support our work ensuring that no one has to face sight loss alone, our charity shops offer house clearance and furniture collection services.
Our experienced team can efficiently clear homes, with costs agreed upon based on the size and requirements of the clearance service.
Additionally, we provide a free furniture collection service, where our team will gladly collect preloved items such as dining tables, cupboards, and sofas. These items are then sold to raise funds for our vital work.
Operating across the Black Country and South Staffordshire, our services offer an easy and impactful way for people to support our work and if you can gift aid your donation it will mean it goes even further for our charity at no extra cost to you.
To book a slot or learn more, please contact us at 01902 880 111.
Your preloved donations will support our local sight loss community.
Donations we can’t accept
We aim to find a new home for each item you generously donate, yet there are certain items we’re sadly unable to sell.
To ensure every donation benefits those we support, we kindly ask you to refrain from donating items we cannot sell. Managing unsellable donations can incur costs, ultimately redirecting funds away from those in our community who rely on our assistance.
Should you have any doubts about the suitability of an item for donation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your nearest Beacon charity shop. Our team is here to help and answer any questions you might have.
For any uncertainty regarding donations, please contact your local Beacon charity shop.
We appreciate your support and understanding, as these guidelines help us focus our resources on aiding those living with sight loss in our community.
