Why donate to Emmaus?
When you donate to Emmaus Colchester, you have a direct impact on the lives of people working hard to rebuild their lives following homelessness.
We depend on your continued support and kind donations to keep our community going and we always do our utmost to sell, recycle, upcycle or re-use to grow an income from everything you give us.
What items can I donate?
As a charity which sells preloved items, we rely on the generous donations of members of the public.
We welcome donations of good quality furniture, clothes, toys, baby equipment, media, bicycles, books, and bric-a-brac. We also accept working electrical appliances such as washing machines or fridge freezers, alongside smaller electrical items such as flat-screen TVs and lamps.
We are happy to accept most household items in saleable condition, but if you’re not sure, feel free to give us a call.
What items cannot be donated?
We are extremely grateful to for all the donations we receive, however, due to high waste disposal costs and trading standards, there are some items we are unable to accept.
This includes soft furnishings without a valid fire label, safety items, baby toys, used duvet and pillows, flat-packed furniture unless boxed, flammable or gas appliances, or any item that is not in a saleable condition.
Drop-off your donations
We are again able to accept drop-off donations- we look forward to seeing you soon.
