YMCA England: Helping young people build a future

Donate your unwanted items

Our shops rely on donations of good quality clothing, shoes, hats, belts, accessories, books, CDs, DVDs, handbags, household linen and bric-a-brac. Our shops are only possible with these generous donations of unwanted items.

Clear out your clutter today and give a vulnerable young person the chance of a better future.

Please bag up your unwanted items and take them to your local YMCA shop. We also collect furniture and electrical items for FREE. Contact your nearest shop for more information.

Donate your money and grab a bargain

Your purchases go a long way. That book, dress or vintage suit bought in one of our shops is helping vulnerable young people across the country.

Donate your time

Without the commitment and dedication of over 800 volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to run our network of shops nationwide. Visit your local YMCA shop to find out about volunteering opportunities.

Gift Aid

We can now claim Gift Aid on your donated items. Ask at the counter for a Gift Aid form and we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 we raise.
