Furniture Donations 

To assist with furniture donations, furniture enquiries, deliveries and collections we have a dedicated Furniture Hotline number – 07923172880. 

The Furniture Hotline is open 10am – 4pm Monday to Friday. 

For donating furniture and to speed up the process, if you could take photographs of the furniture items, highlighting any damage and either text them or WhatsApp them to the above number, a member of the hotline team will call you back to discuss further.  

Alternatively you can email the photographs to furniture@stcatherines.uat-web.co.uk

Checking for Fire Labels:

In order for us to sell the items that you’ve donated, some furniture items need to meet UK safety standards:

Fire Labels 

If you are considering donating upholstered or leather furniture, mattresses, divans or bed bases you must check that each one carries a fire label as this shows that it meets the required standards. We are unable to accept donations without the correct fire label which must be securely attached to the item, and each component of a set. The fire label may be on any external surface of an item including underneath removable seating and also inside cushion covers. Upholstered items have to be in a good clean condition with no rips, tears or stains as this may compromise the ignition tests. 

There are two versions of an upholstered item fire label, one of which must be present to ensure that the item meets the Furniture and Furnishings Regulations.
