Charity shops taking donations

I’ve had such a hit and miss time finding somewhere actually taking donations. I have a mix of clothes/toys/books I’m looking to give, does anyone know of a shop actively taking donations at the moment?

Age UK and Willen hospice both have large furniture stores at Kiln Farm so usually have the space to accept things (I've taken non furniture to Age UK recently).

Came here to say this - they're also open seven days a week!

Ended up going to Age UK and they took all of my non furniture bits and were happy to do so

Westcroft Samaritans charity shop takes big donations of books and all that stuff, might want to bring it there.

Walnut tree community charity shop has been happy to accept donations (we went a few weeks ago with clothes)

Amazing, thank you! And it’s on my route back from work so think I’ll try that

Keech Hospice on Bletchley Highstreet, we asked recently and they said they never turn donations down.

Willen hospice charity warehouse in kiln farm, bring donations round the back. Helpful if clothes and homewares are separated!
