High Wycombe Central Aid Society

Current Warehouse Status

We currently have a limited amount of space for collecting more (2 seater) sofas and table sets.   We are still only able to take limited numbers of certain items like TV cabinets as we currently have lots of these in stock. Our Furniture Donation FAQ page has lots of information about the sort of things we do and don't take.

Furniture Collections: Regular Notices

Please understand that we cannot do collections at very short notice - if you are looking to move items on please contact us a week in advance rather than waiting for the day before you need them collected!

You are welcome to bring items down to us when we are open, but please bear in mind that we might not be able to take them due to lack of space or changes in our current requirements.  To save a wasted trip, we always recommend calling us in advance so we can discuss the items you have to donate.

We always need many more beds, wardrobes and chests of drawers as these are needed by families setting up home for the first time and are in great demand / short supply.

When we have space we only collect small dining suites (Tables with 2-4 Chairs). We do tend to get overloaded with items like tables and sometimes have to stop taking any more.

Wall / display units:  we are not taking any more unless they are small ones, almost always made of pine. Other than our Ebay outlet, we don't find that they sell and most of those in receipt of our furniture grants do not have the room for them.

Regrettably we've decided not to take 3 seater sofas for the foreseeable future - we can't take them due to their size, which is becoming more and more of a problem for us. Sorry if that seems arbitrary, but our collection team is frequently going out to visit people who have offered us 3 seater sofas only to refuse them because we don't think we'll be able to successfully deliver them to our typical range of properties, which are often flats with narrow entrance ways and stairwells.
