Turn your unwanted near-new items into precious fund-raising donations

In January, we’ll be hosting our first Pre-Loved Market to raise funds and we would love your support.

We need near-new clothing, accessories, home essentials, kids craft items etc. for sale on the day.

All proceeds from the sale will go directly towards benefitting Community Embrace UK’s vital projects to support vulnerable individuals and families in our community.

Drop-off at The Pantry, (address below), or call us on 07800 839 033 to arrange collection.
