Donate Items to C4WS

We regularly update our Amazon wishlist to reflect the current needs of our guests and former guests and are able to distribute these regularly to those who need them most.

We are very grateful to anyone wishing to donate goods for use by our shelter guests.
Our needs at any given time are subject to change, but the following list details the items we are generally able to make use of, and those we cannot. If you are interested in donating goods to the project, please email us to find out what we are currently looking for at: admin@c4wshomelessproject.org

Second Hand Items

• Most useful: Good-quality walking boots / waterproof leather boots 
  Waterproof jackets: ponchos, light-weight rain coats 
  Warm winter men’s coats 
  We have a far lower need for women’s coats and currently have a large supply in stock 
  Backpacks with shoulder straps 
  Men’s suits and shirts for our Jobs Club work wardrobe

• Also useful: Winter jumpers and cardigans 
  Good-condition vests and thermal underwear 
  Scarves, winter hats, gloves etc.

New items

• Underpants (male and female) 
  Warm, thick socks and tights 
  Toiletries, particularly men’s toiletries
  Sanitary products 
  Survival Bag 
  Wet Wipes

Items we can’t make use of

Bedding: second-hand duvets, pillows, bed linen and towels; blankets, sheets etc 
Each shelter venue has its own supply of bedding, and we are able to provide our guests with brand new bedding sets when they move into accommodation thanks to provision by the Hampstead Wells and Campden Trust 
Clothing that guests can’t practically make use of: e.g. evening wear, summer clothes 
Second-hand underwear or clothing in poor condition.
