In terms of bed sheets, we are only able to accept new single sheets and new single duvet sets, no double bedding please. We are also no longer able to accept cleaning products.
We also welcome the donation of supermarket vouchers which we can use to purchase fresh ingredients as and when we need them. Vouchers are also useful to give to residents when they are moving on to their own accommodation.
Sometimes we find we have too much of a particular food item. In this situation, to ensure no food is wasted we redistribute donations to other charities and community organisations in the City including Winchester Basics Bank and the Carroll Centre.
