Claire House gives tips on how you can make the most of your donations

This autumn, Claire House Children’s Hospice is urging people to donate their unwanted pre-loved items to its shops.

Every quality item donated helps the charity to provide even more care and support to seriously ill babies, children and young adults.

When donors give something that’s in great condition, it sells faster in the charity shops and raises more money. And that extra cash goes directly towards helping families at its Wirral hospice and at its West Derby site, as well as out in the community. 

Those barely worn blouses or pairs of nearly new shoes could turn into vital funds for care services at Claire House. 

With shoppers ready to revamp their wardrobes this season, the charity has shared five tips for donating second-hand items. 

Claire House

Here’s what’s in demand to make your donation bag a winner for Claire House: 

Tops (men’s and women’s)

    Whether it’s a casual tee, a jumper or something dressy, clean tops (without stains, tears, or bobbles) are a big hit in our shops.

    Shoes  

      Got any shoes, boots or trainers you don’t wear anymore? If they’re in good shape and just need a quick wipe, they’ll sell well for the charity. 

      Handbags

        Bags are always popular. If they’re in good condition, with no broken zips or missing straps, they can raise serious funds.

        Toys 

          Kids’ plastic and wooden toys that are clean and safe to use bring a lot of joy. Make sure they’re in working order with all their bits and pieces and you’re good to go!

          And finally… 

          Gift Aid

            A surefire way to increase the impact of a donation is Gift Aid. If you are a UK tax payer, gift aiding your bag makes your donation worth 25% more. Ask about signing up when you drop off your bag.
