How to donation

We accept donations any day we are open across Monday to Friday, 11am - 1pm

- Good quality
- Clean and tidy
- Items we need more of
- Quirky unique items OR items in fashion
Quality clothing from brands that use natural materials, well made clothing & are repairable when issues arise.

- Dirty or well used items
- We may reject Shein & other fast fashion brands
- Items we have too many of e.g. plain tees, denim
- Active wear/ sports gear
- Items that aren’t for students e.g. children or mature clothing
- Items that we know won’t sell (we don’t want to create waste)
Clothing made entirely from low quality synthetic materials. This includes polyester & nylon.
Why? These items wear quickly and take thousands of years to break down. Typically coming from Shein, Kmart and other fast fashion brands.

Give us three & we’ll give you store credit

Every three items we accept gives you $5 credit to use in store. Just bring them on in and our team will let you know how much credit you’ve earned!!

Flick us an email or fill in the form and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
