COVID-19 information
We are pleased to be able to return to business as usual under Alert Level 1. With this decrease in Alert Levels comes a sense of normalcy in business and socialising.

If you’d like to donate your quality goods, please ensure that they are clean and complete, and pre-sorted in to groupings. This helps our staff and volunteers to process things carefully and safely. Click here for how to pre-sort your goods at home before donating.
