Any organisation can register to donate their surplus goods i.e. small or large businesses, local authorities, Government agencies, universities, schools, colleges, hospitals, doctor’s surgeries, charities etc.
All donations should be new and unused. The only exceptions are furniture, IT and medical equipment (i.e. multiple use equipment not invasive single-use equipment such as needles etc).
If you are donating used furniture, IT or medical equipment, please ensure the items are in good working order.
For examples of what you can donate please view the database of what is currently available and also view the Charity Requests page.
If you are unsure about whether your surplus could be useful to someone or if you wish to donate your goods anonymously, please contact us.

Registered charities or voluntary and community group helping people in need can register to access business surplus.
Security checks are carried out to verify charitable status as well as ongoing monitoring and validation of charity requests..
Charities search the database and select the goods they need.
See How to Donate Goods for detailed instructions of how the process works.
The charity must arrange collection and pay transport costs.
Charities must not sell the goods or use them for fundraising events/auctions. Your goods will only be used for the charity's own use or for distribution to people in need.
The charity must not contact you again once the transaction has been completed.
