We aim to provide furniture, household goods, baby equipment, and emergency food for those in need in Nottingham. In the last year, we've seen and supported over 2,700 visitors and we've delivered over 3,200 items free of charge, travelling over 6,500 miles across Nottinghamshire.
For us to continue to meet the practical needs of our visitors, we rely on charitable donations of furniture, household items and baby equipment.
A large portion of our donations come from Trent Vineyard church members and the public, occasionally supplemented through our partnerships with other organisations like universities, local councils and businesses.
If you have donations of vintage and retro homewares and furniture, or designer clothes and accessories please donate them to The Attic during our opening times. 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.
You can drop off your donations during our opening hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 10am and 12:30pm.
We can sometimes collect larger donations if you're within our collection area. Our vans are usually booked 1 to 3 weeks in advance. Give us a call on 0115 9508774 during our opening hours.
We're always grateful for donations in good condition, items you'd give to a friend. Below we've listed the items we can accept. For more information, get in touch.
"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."
