The Arches charitable donations delivery

Donating to The Arches

We are open for donations on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 10-12

Email info@thearchesnottingham.org (leaving your phone number) to discuss donating or drop them down during our open hours. Sometimes we need to say no thank you to donations if they are not items we can pass on.

Donations

We give away furniture for people moving into empty properties and we make up lovely bedding packs and items to help set up a kitchen to enable people to cook. We want people to feel blessed by what they receive from us, so we ask that all donations are in good, clean condition, something you would be happy to pass onto a friend.

We are open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10-12 to drop donations down. We are also open 10-12 on the first Saturday of the month (closed May due to the Coronation Bank Holiday).

Donating to our shop:

The Attic sells vintage and retro homeware and furniture, designer clothes and accessories. Sales from The Attic generate funds that we re-invest into The Arches and buy essential furniture or household items to meet the needs of our visitors.

"The Arches provides essential help for individuals and families who feel helpless due to their circumstances with needs they simply cannot meet themselves. They’ve helped people make a fresh start and struggling parents to better meet the needs of their children."
