If you have things that you no longer want, or need, that can be reused don’t throw them away. Donate instead and give them a new life.
Emmaus at Carlton is reopening for donations on Wednesday 27 May. Emmaus Village Carlton provides a home and meaningful work for formerly homeless adults in Bedfordshire.
The site will reopen for donating items from Wednesday 27 May, and will be open Wednesday-Sunday from 10.30am-4pm. Items accepted include clothing, books, upholstered furniture with a fire label attached, electrical items less than 10 years old in good working order. At the current time, Emmaus is not able to offer their usual collection service.
People wishing to make a donation must book an appointment before visiting, to manage visitor numbers and ensure everyone can social distance while visiting. Visitors without an appointment will be asked to book and return at another day/time. You can book an appointment by calling 01234 720826, Wednesday – Sunday, 10.30am – 4pm.
Visit www.emmaus.org.uk/village-carlton to find out more.
If you are looking to donate to a charity shop please make sure they are accepting donations first. Please do not leave donations outside closed charity shops, or full/closed charity clothes bins.
