Pass It On. Change a Life.

Got a spare sofa? A few kitchen bits you no longer need? Clothes that deserve a second home?

At CARE UK Charity, passing things on has always been at the heart of what we do. It’s how we started, and it’s still how we make the biggest difference today.

We urgently need good-quality furniture, clothing, and household essentials to support local people going through tough times.

Some items go straight to individuals and families in crisis. Others are sold in our charity shops in Warrington and Runcorn to raise the funds that keep everything running.

What We Can Accept

We’re always grateful for your donations – they help us support local people in crisis across Warrington. Here’s what we’re currently able to accept:

Furniture
Sofas, armchairs, dining sets, beds, wardrobes, and more. All upholstered furniture must have a valid fire label.

Large Electricals
Items like fridges, freezers, washing machines, and TVs (subject to condition and safety checks).

Small Electricals
Including kettles, toasters, microwaves, lamps, and home audio/visual equipment.

Can’t Donate Items? You Can Still Help

While many of the things we provide are donated, some essentials like new pillows, microwaves, cleaning packs, and kitchenware often need to be purchased.

A one-off or monthly donation helps us fill the gaps, respond faster, and support even more people with the basics they need to live safely and comfortably.

Are You a Business Looking to Support Us?

We gratefully accept donations from local businesses, retailers, and corporate partners.

Whether it’s end-of-line stock, ex-display furniture, or bulk essentials like cleaning products or bedding, your contribution can make a huge difference to families in crisis right here in Warrington.
