Shop & Cafe Donate to our shops We 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. Our shops can only accept three bags or boxes at a time. Please do not overload the bags or boxes - if you struggle to handle a bag or box then our staff and volunteers will also find it difficult. If you find yourself with a large quantity of donations then please visit out warehouse, located at 16a Riverway, Newport PO30 5UX. Please give us a call on 01983 217291 for further advice.
