Help to make somebody else’s house a home by donating furniture.

At New Start Highland, we help people get back on their feet after experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. A key part of this is giving people the items they need to make their house a comfortable home. This is only possible because of the generous donations we receive.

If you’re clearing out household items, consider donating them to us. As long as they are in safe, good condition and we can make use of them, you can drop them off at any of our outlets or we can collect larger items for free. We supply them to families and individuals in need or make them available in our outlets. No matter whether you’re donating small items like glassware or large ones such as sofas, you are helping to make somebody’s house a home and we appreciate all donations given.

When you donate furniture and homeware to New Start Highland, you’re not only helping people, you're helping the environment by preventing goods from going to landfill. Your donated items will be reused, repaired, upcycled and recycled.

Usable furniture*
Soft furnishing such as bedding, linens, cushions, curtains etc

*Please note that mattresses, chairs, and sofas should all have a fire label attached with the British Standards code - BS 7177. Unfortunately, we can’t take large living room and corner units. We also cannot take white goods, unless brand new in original packaging.

When selecting Gift Aid you are declaring that:

You have not received something in return for this donation, such as an entry ticket to an event or a raffle ticket.
The money that we claim back from HMRC as part of the Gift Aid scheme will be treated as unrestricted funds and used to support our general work, even if your original donation was made towards a specific project.

I want to Gift Aid my donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years, to New Start Highland. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less income tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Gift Aid is claimed by New Start Highland from the tax you pay for the current tax year.
