Our shops are our public face and we are proud to be at the heart of our communities.

We sell a wide range of donated goods and depend on the generosity of our supporters who donate goods - and purchase things in our shops.

If you have furniture or a large amount of donations we can arrange collection. To find out more, please contact retail manager Joe Feely on 01453 886868 or email joe.feeley@cotswoldcare.org.uk

Gift Aid

You can make your donations be worth more by signing up to the Gift Aid scheme at our shops. That means we can claim back the tax on your donated goods - adding 28 per cent to their value. To find out more, read our Gift Aid section.

Be aware

Sadly, there are occasionally people who operate bag drops, either masquerading as a charity and asking for your donations or who steal filled charity bags from people’s doorsteps. Currently, Cotswold Care Hospice does not operate door to door collections.
