Give your furniture a new leash on life and help animals find their second chance

Are you redecorating, downsizing, or simply having a long-overdue clear-out? We all have that one piece of furniture that’s served us well but no longer fits our space or style. It could be a sturdy wardrobe, a beloved armchair, or a dining table that’s hosted countless family meals.

Before you consider the hassle of selling it online or the expense of sending it to the tip, we’d like to offer a third, more rewarding option.

From Your Home to Theirs: How Your Donation Works

Giving your old furniture a new life helps us give animals a second chance. It’s that simple. At Windyway Trust, we rely on the generosity of our community to fund our vital animal rescue and rehoming work. Your unwanted furniture is a key part of that.

When you donate a piece of furniture to us, you’re not just clearing a space in your home; you’re starting a powerful chain of kindness. We sell your pre-loved items in our charity shops, and every single penny of the profit goes directly towards caring for the vulnerable animals at our sanctuary.

What can that old chest of drawers do?

  • It can help pay for a life-saving veterinary procedure for an injured stray.
  • It can contribute to the heating bills that keep our kennels and catteries warm and cosy through the winter.
  • It can buy weeks’ worth of nutritious food for the dogs, cats, and small animals in our care.
  • It can fund the crucial work of finding each animal a safe, loving, and permanent forever home.

What We’re Looking For

We are always grateful for donations of good quality, saleable furniture. This includes items like:

  • Sofas and armchairs (must have a current fire safety label attached)
  • Dining tables and chairs
  • Wardrobes, chests of drawers, and bedside tables
  • Bookcases and display units
  • Coffee tables and sideboards

As a general rule, if an item is in a condition that you would be happy to buy yourself, then we would be thrilled to receive it. Your quality donation ensures it will find a happy new home, raising the maximum amount possible for our animals.

Ready to Make a Difference? Get in Touch!

Donating couldn’t be easier. For larger items, we can often arrange a collection from your home, making it a completely hassle-free way to support a great local cause.

If you have furniture you no longer need, please consider donating it to Windyway Trust. You’ll be helping the environment by recycling, helping a new family find a bargain, and, most importantly, helping us give a deserving animal a new start in life.
