Donate Items
We have a Clothes Bank which provides free clothes and household items (not white goods or furniture as we do not have the space). We hold a stock of unopened toiletries, sanitary products and cleaning products. We like to have gifts that we can give to families. We use lots of tea, coffee, sugar, UHT semi-skimmed milk and biscuits. We buy our office supplies from local shops. If you would like to donate stationary or A4 paper that is always welcome. All of the above donations are welcome and can be dropped off at the Centre. Donations can be pre-arranged on the phone or you can drop in any time while we are open. The Centre opening times are:
Monday — 9:30am – 4pm
Tuesday — 9:30am – 6pm
Wednesday — 9:30am – 4pm
Thursday — 9:30am – 6pm
Friday — 9:30am – 1pm
We have seasonal collections for particular things such as Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, wrapping paper, and dressing-up outfits for World Book Day. We share these on social media so follow us on Facebook to see when we are collecting these. Our Facebook is Women’s Community Matters (Women’s Community Matters | Barrow in Furness | Facebook).
Due to the public’s generosity, we sometimes find ourselves with more donations than we have space for! In these situations, we will temporarily pause donations until we are up to date with cataloguing current stock. To find out when pause periods are taking place, please follow our Facebook.
