Update: 3 November 2020
Following government advice, all Hospiscare shops, including the Warehouse Shop on Marsh Barton, will be closed from Thursday 5 November.
We have now stopped accepting donations at our Warehouse Shop in Marsh Barton, and we will no longer be able to accept any donations at other shops after Wednesday 4 November. In order to donate items before Thursday, please call your local shop in advance to book an appointment.
Please do not leave donations outside our shops as they will have to be disposed of at a cost to the charity.
Coronavirus update
During lockdown in spring 2020, our 20 shops were closed to the public. As of July 2020, we are slowly re-opening our shops in phases, where it is practical to do so. The safety of our customers, staff and volunteers is paramount and, following government guidelines, we have put these precautions into place:
- All donated stock is quarantined for 48 hours before being sorted or put on sale
- We are practising social distancing and all people in our shops must stay at least 2m apart
- We are currently accepting card payments only – please use contactless if possible.
- Our staff are carrying out additional cleaning and hand sanitiser is available at all stores
We’ve also had to change the way we handle donations to our shops in order to put the necessary safety measures in place.
Donations will be accepted at the Exeter Warehouse in Marsh Barton on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The rest of our shops are accepting donations by appointment only between 3-4pm. Please call your local shop to book a donation slot. We may ask you a few questions about the items you are bringing to donate and how many items you want to donate. Some of our shops are very limited with the space available to store donations. If you have any items that don’t fit in a box or a bag please tell us about them when booking your time-slot.
