Furniture Collection Service
If you have larger items you’d like to donate, our free furniture collection service makes giving to Katharine House Hospice simple and convenient. From sofas and armchairs to wardrobes, beds, and dining furniture, our team can collect bulky items directly from your home at a time that suits you. Before collection, each item is checked to ensure it meets the required safety and resale standards.
Once collected, your furniture is sold through our network of hospice shops to help raise vital funds that allow Katharine House Hospice to continue providing free care and support to patients and their families.
Smaller items such as books, homewares, and other collectables can be dropped off at the shop during opening hours and are always gratefully received.
