Bude Shop

Your local charity shop can be a treasure trove of hidden gems. Charity shops are a great place to find good quality, pre-loved items, from clothes and accessories to homeware, furniture, and books. Great value for money for you and helping short and precious lives in our local towns.

Whether you shop with us, give your time to volunteer, or donate pre-loved items to us - you'll be making a difference.

Find us at the top of the one-way system in Bude. We're opposite Urchins cafe and below the dance studio on Princes Street as it turns right into Queen Street.

Yes, please drop off your donations to us.

You can stop outside the front of the shop in the parking bays on Princes Street/Queen Street.

Please bring in your donations during opening hours as we love to be able to say thank you to you.

We need donations of:

• Ladies Clothing
• Shoes, Jewellery and Accessories
• Children's Toys, Games and Books
• Books and Media
• Men's Clothing
• Homewares
• Bric a brac
• Children's Clothing

Leaving donations outside shop opening hours

Although we welcome your donations we ask that you please don't leave them outside the shop when we're closed.

Not only do we like to be able to thank you personally for bringing them in, but when bags are left outside overnight it can cause problems for the shop.

Are you interested in volunteering at this shop?

We couldn’t survive without the help of our wonderful volunteers. Volunteering is a fantastic way to spend your time: not only is it helpful and a way of giving something to your local community but it is also very rewarding. It's a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and feel like you are doing some good. So if you would like to know more about volunteering in one of our charity shops we'd love to hear from you.

If you are a UK taxpayer, please sign up for the Gift Aid scheme when you donate to our shops. The Gift Aid scheme allows Children's Hospice South West to claim an additional 25% of the sale price of your donated goods from HMRC at no extra cost to you – increasing the value of your gift to us.

About Retail Gift Aid

Our shops play a huge role in raising vital funds to help make the most of short and precious lives. By allowing us to claim Gift Aid on the proceeds raised from the sale of your donated items you will be helping us generate additional income at no extra cost to you. 1 bag of donated items can raise as much as £25, so with Gift Aid, this bag would be worth £31.

To sign up for Retail Gift Aid please visit your local Children's Hospice South West shop. For any Gift Aid enquiries please contact us on 01271 325 270.
