Please note that this Outlet does not accept donations.
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 want 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 our opening hours. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any donation that has been left outside, and it costs us time and money to dispose of them.
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.
Do you collect/deliver donations at Dorchester Clearance at Poundbury?
We do not accept or collect donations at this outlet.
We do however deliver furniture within the postcodes of DT1/DT2/DT6/DT7/DT8. 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.
- Broken or Chipped China & Glassware
- Broken or Incomplete Toys / Games
- Soiled or Damaged Linens / Curtains
- Soiled or Damaged Clothing
- Standalone Computers / Monitors
- Electric Blankets
- All Crash Helmets
- Restrictions on certain Safety Items
- All Videos and Pirate or Personal DVDs / CDs
Do you collect/deliver donations from your charity shops?
Thank you for supporting Weldmar Hospicecare by donating items for us to sell! We really appreciate it.
Our shops do not make collections or deliveries, but our larger outlets do collect larger items such as furniture free of charge in their surrounding areas – these are based in Weymouth, Dorchester (who will collect/deliver from across the west of Dorset), Blandford, and Shaftesbury.
Our outlets will also deliver items, but there is a small charge for this service.
If you would like to enquire about delivery or collection, please contact your nearest Weldmar Outlet.
