You can use your purchases to help us! We are ‘Waltham Forest Churches Night Shelter (Branches)’ on the easyfundraising website.
Other ways to donate:
Food
We accept non-perishable groceries.
Unfortunately, we can’t accept out-of-date food, and we are limited on what perishable food we can accept due to Food Hygiene legislation and Health and Safety Regulations.
Please phone ahead if you are in any doubt about a donation, call us on 020 8520 6363.
Clothing
We accept new or clean pre-loved clothing and footwear. We don’t accept dirty, torn or old clothing, or underwear.
Toiletries
We accept toiletries that are new and unopened. For hygiene reasons, we don’t accept opened or used toiletries.
Other items
We accept small kitchen items, crockery and cutlery. We may politely refuse donations if we are unable to store them as we have limited storage facilities. We don’t accept chipped or broken items.
We can only accept donations of single bedding (single duvets, single duvet sets, single sheets) and pillows if they are new and unopened.
Please phone ahead to check first! Call us on 020 8520 6363.

Donate your time and volunteer with us!
We are always looking for volunteers to complement the existing services we provide.
As a volunteer you will bring enthusiasm and additional skills, experience, and knowledge which help the people we support.
In return, you will have a life-enriching experience from volunteering with people who are striving to turn around their lives; and have an opportunity to develop additional skills.
