We need your pre-loved items!

Donate Your Pre-Loved Clothing and Accessories to Help Animals in Need

Our charity shops play a vital role in helping fund the work of The Kit Wilson Trust, and right now we are particularly in need of good quality clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories.

If you have items in your wardrobe that you no longer wear but are still in great condition, donating them to our shops is a simple way to make a real difference.

Every item donated and sold in our shops helps raise vital funds for our animal rescue and re-homing centre, supporting the care of animals of all kinds including cats, dogs, birds and horses. Your pre-loved items truly help us continue this work.

By donating, you’re not only helping animals in need, but also giving perfectly good items a second life and helping reduce waste.

What we're in need of

At the moment, we are especially grateful for donations of:

  • Clothing (men’s, women’s and children’s)
  • Shoes and boots
  • Handbags
  • Accessories

A Quick Note on Items We Can’t Accept

To comply with health and safety regulations and trading standards, there are some items we’re unable to accept, including furniture, large electrical appliances and certain safety-related items.

These items unfortunately cannot be sold and disposing of them comes at a cost to the charity, so we kindly ask donors to check our Items We Cannot Accept list before visiting.

Thank You

Your donations help keep our shops stocked, support sustainable reuse, and most importantly help fund the care of animals who need it most.

Thank you for supporting The Kit Wilson Trust.
