Sue Ryder urges residents to donate unwanted Christmas gifts
National palliative care and bereavement charity, Sue Ryder, is calling on people across the community to support the charity by donating any unwanted Christmas presents to their local Sue Ryder shop.
From clothing that isn’t quite your style to unused gadgets or home accessories that clash with your decor and destined for the back of a cupboard, the charity is encouraging people to give these items a second life. Donations will help declutter homes after the festive season while raising vital funds for people facing a terminal illness or grief.
Any unwanted items can be dropped off at any local Sue Ryder shop, and free furniture collections can be arranged through the charity’s website.
With almost 400 shops across the UK, money raised in-store will help fund Sue Ryder’s expert palliative and end-of-life care in its hospices and people’s homes, as well as a range of free bereavement support the charity provides.
Karen Rogers, Retail Regional Manager at Sue Ryder, said: “Many of us receive gifts at Christmas that we won’t use.
"By donating them to Sue Ryder, you’ll be helping people receive palliative and end-of-life care and bereavement support, so no one faces death or grief alone - while also reducing waste and starting the New Year with a clearer home.
“We’d be grateful to receive any unwanted Christmas gifts or donations from a general clear out, including any quality clothing, accessories, homewares, electricals, books, and children’s toys.”
