Donating Pre-loved Furniture

Have pre-loved furniture or working electrical items you no longer need? Let us take them off your hands—and give them a second life in support of hospice care across Gloucestershire.

If you’re only donating smaller items, please drop them off at your nearest Longfield shop or bring them to our STROUD – FURNITURE SHOP & DONATION HUB.

For large items, you can request a free furniture collection using the form at the bottom of this page.

Once we receive your request, a member of our Logistics Team will be in touch within five working days.

What We Can Collect

This service is primarily for collecting furniture and electrical appliances. If you’re also donating smaller items (such as clothing, books, toys, or homeware), you’re welcome to include bags or boxes with your furniture collection.

Before You Book

We can only collect donations from the ground floor and there must be good access for a Luton van (e.g. a food delivery van or Amazon van).

To make sure your donation helps us raise vital funds, items must be in good, saleable condition and meet legal and safety standards.

Unfortunately, our drivers can’t accept items we aren’t able to resell.

Upholstered Furniture

By law, all upholstered furniture (like sofas, armchairs, or padded chairs) must have a valid fire safety label attached.
We also can’t accept items that are ripped or torn in a way that exposes the inner padding.

Please double-check your items before booking to ensure:

The fabric is intact with no damage or excessive wear

There is a fire safety label attached to the furniture

* If your item is vintage, these rules may not apply so do get in touch with the Logistics Team to discuss by emailing [email protected]

General Condition

All items must:

Be complete, with no missing parts (e.g. all drawers in a chest of drawers)

Be clean and in good condition (no large stains, damage, or strong odours)

Work properly (for electrical items)

Items We’re Unable to Accept

For health, safety, or resale reasons, we cannot accept the following:

Mattresses or beds
Hard-wired electric heaters
Cookers
Cots, prams, or other baby items
Upholstered items without a valid fire label
Items made from ivory or real fur
Used personal items (e.g. toiletries, bedding)
Safety equipment (e.g. helmets, harnesses)
