Our shop
Our charity shop in the heart of the city at 93-99 George Street, and it’s a great place to bag a bargain!
Our shop has been a proud part of the community since 2012 and it is still vital to raise awareness of our charity and fund our work supporting families in Aberdeen.
Shop with us
Shop preloved with Home-Start Aberdeen and make your money go further, reduce waste, boost the local economy and, most importantly, help us to make a difference to families with young children in Aberdeen.
Whether you’re looking to revamp your home or refresh your wardrobe, we have an amazing range of preloved clothing, furniture, homewares and so much more.
Donate to us
Want to declutter your home? Time to overhaul your wardrobe? Why not donate your unwanted items to our shop and do good at the same time!
As a local charity, we are entirely dependent on donations from people and organisations in the local area.
Donations can be dropped off at our shop in George Street between 10am and 4pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. We also offer a free uplift service covering Aberdeen and Westhill.
It’s helpful if you phone the shop in advance to let us you know you will be coming in or to arrange collections.
We’re always grateful to receive undamaged, high-quality items.
We particularly need:
- Menswear, womenswear, childrenswear
- Handbags, shoes, scarves, jewellery and other accessories
- Prams, pushchairs, cots, highchairs and other baby equipment. Please note we cannot accept car seats or cots
- Curtains, tablecloths, rugs, vases, glasses, cups, plates and other homeware
- Toys, children’s books, games and puzzles
- Unused toiletries, unwanted gifts, bric-a-brac
- Vintage and collectable items
Unfortunately, we can’t accept:
- Damaged, stained or broken items (it will cost us money to dispose of them)
- Furniture
- White goods
- Electrical items
- Duvets and pillows
- Children’s car seats
Don’t forget to ask shop staff about Gift Aid – if you’re eligible, this will add 25% to the value of your donation.
