Charity shops
Our shops make an important contribution to our fundraising by selling donated goods, wool, Christmas cards and more. They are also a first point of contact for many people. All money raised is spent in Carlisle and Eden to benefit older people.

Donation of goods
We welcome donations of goods to sell in our shops - ie good, clean quality clothes, books, bric- a- brac etc. Either drop them off at your nearest shop, or if you don't have transport contact us to arrange collection.
Our Lowther Street shop also distributes collection bags to your door which are picked up a few days later.
We regret that for health and safety reasons we are unable to accept donations of electrical items or furniture.
