Blandford Outlet Charity Shop - Weldmar Hospicecare

Our Blandford outlet charity shop is on Glenmore Industrial Estate, opposite Lidl with it’s own parking facilities. You can find many bargains and even everything you would need to furnish your home on a budget.

Making a donation:

Only donate what you can comfortably carry.

All of our shops have to stop accepting donations once their stock room is full each day, so if you are making a special journey to donate, please call ahead to check that we are still accepting donations that day.

Please do not leave any donations outside our charity shops, as we won’t be able to use them.

Weldmar Hospicecare also has an Online Charity Shop, so you can find even more bargains on eBay.

Common Questions

When can I drop off items that I would like to donate?

Whilst we are extremely grateful for your kindness and generosity when considering us for your donation of items, it is really important that you only drop goods off to us during the hours specified below. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any donation that has been left outside, and it costs us time and money to dispose of them.

At Blandford Outlet, we only accept donations on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, between 9am and 4pm.

Dropping off your items during opening hours also ensures that we can add Gift Aid your items (if you are eligible), meaning we can claim an extra 25% of their sale value! If you are unsure about whether we can take particular items, or we have space to accept them (sometimes we can’t if our stockroom is full), please do call ahead and we will be happy to help.

We deliver items of furniture that are bought in our outlet to customers homes, a small charge is made for this service payable when you buy your furniture.

What items can I not donate?

The whole area of recycling has changed for all Charities. We can no longer dispose of any broken, damaged or unsaleable items. We no longer have anywhere to recycle these goods and, in fact, have to PAY to have them taken away. We are, therefore, having to be more restrictive on what donations we can accept.

This list should help identify items we cannot accept. If in doubt please ask the Store Manager or one of our sales staff.
