Donate items

Let’s face it, we’ve all got too much stuff! Stuff we don’t need, and stuff we’ve got bored of. Give it us and help us spread the love of preloved. There’s not much we can’t accept, however items must be clean, undamaged, and in good, saleable condition – things somebody else is going to love too. Find out more about we can and can't accept on our 'Donate items' page.
Donate money

Donate money

We work hard to generate the funds we need to provide our charitable services through our social enterprises. In a typical year we generate around 80% of the funds we need through trading. However, we don’t yet fully meet our own costs and so every donation we receive makes an important contribution to what we are able to achieve.

I lost my family, but here at Emmaus, I now consider all the other companions as family and that means the world to me.

Michelle, supported by Emmaus South Wales

If Emmaus hadn’t given me the chance to prove myself, I’m pretty sure I would have ended up dead. Instead, I am developing myself, helping others and giving back to the Emmaus community, which is a really great feeling.
