Many people in Salisbury and the South Wiltshire area kindly donate items for resale and reuse so as to support the aims of The Trussell Trust in reducing poverty and despair. There is also the additional benefit of reducing the amount of waste which makes its way to landfill sites around the country. We sort donations, prepare them for resale or make them available to individuals or families who are in crisis or need. Donations range from items of furniture through to clothing. Below is a list of what we are able and unable to accept:
