Our welcoming and friendly store is easy to find on the outskirts of Shaftesbury just off the Ivy Cross roundabout.
In our Shaftesbury Superstore you can find a large selection of bric-a-brac and kitchen items, CD’s, DVD’s and jigsaw puzzles as well as ladies and men’s clothes, shoes and accessories which are updated regularly. There is a good selection of children’s toys and games as well as children’s clothes. We sell furniture – sofas, beds etc., electrical items and white goods and will deliver (there is a delivery charge) and collect items subject to inspection.
We have changing seasonal sections for Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Valentines and in the spring/summer an area for camping/outdoor living.
Making a donation at our Shaftesbury Superstore:
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.
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 supply carrier bags for purchases?
Yes, we do – large Weldmar paper bags can be purchased for 70p, and tote bags are £2.
Where are the nearest places to park for your Shaftesbury Outlet?
The nearest places to park for our Shaftesbury Outlet is our on-site car park.
Do you collect/deliver donations from your outlet in Shaftesbury?
We will collect furniture donations subject to inspection in Shaftesbury and our area covered extends to Sherborne, Tisbury, Mere, Zeals and Wincanton.
We deliver within the area for a minimum charge of £15, which increases depending upon the area to be delivered to.
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
