Every year, we host donation stalls in and around Selly Oak and the Vale for unwanted goods. All you need to do is dig out the things you no longer need, put them into a bin bag and pop along to one of our collection points with your items. 

Our aim is to encourage a more sustainable way of living by collecting your unwanted clothes, books and household items that still have life in them.

We accept most items:

✅ Clothes, Shoes, Handbags, Sports Equipment, Kitchenware, Books, Toys & Games

With the exception of, we don't collect:

❌ Duvets, Pillows, Broken or dirty items, Knives, Hangers, Food, Bikes & Helmets!

All the items you donate to us help to raise money for Shelter, meaning we’re also committed to improving the wellbeing of our local community and across the UK. We’re very proud to say that due to your support and previous donations, we’ve been able to raise over £181,000 since 2011.

Why not have a clear out before you leave for the upcoming break, and if you're leaving your accommodation for the final time, donate anything you no longer need.

Donation point locations: 

  • Shackleton Reception, The Vale
  • Jarratt Hall Reception, Selly Oak
  • Pritchatts Park Social Hub, Pritchatts Park Village
