All our Mountbatten shops and our Mountbatten warehouse have closed while coronavirus restrictions are in place. We are not currently able to accept donations.

For more information on the shops, click here.

When we do reopen, we will rely on the generosity of your donations to keep our charity shops well stocked with quality second-hand items. Please hang on to them for us.

All the proceeds from our shops go towards providing services for Island people who are facing death, dying and bereavement.

Ways to donate

Via our shops

Unfortunately, because we have to quarantine donations for 72 hours before handling, we are unable to accept many donations at our shops. Our warehouse is open seven days a week to accept donations, but we have had to implement a booking system.

Please call them on 217291 to book a slot. Our warehouse can be found at River Way Industrial Estate, 16a, Riverway, Newport PO30 5UZ.

Collection

If you need your furniture donation to be collected, please contact our warehouse to arrange a collection date. Please note that our van drivers are unable to accept cash donations. If you would like to make a donation, we would kindly request you visit one of our shops or our main hospice site.
