Charity shops in Weymouth and Portland

All of them, with the opening hours off each charity's own page. Who is open on a Sunday, who takes a sofa, and who will come and collect it.

Clearing a house? Two of them will take furniture. Weldmar's outlet on the Granby estate is the only one you can drive up to and unload, and it collects free as well. Their page. The British Heart Foundation on St Mary Street will also collect furniture and electricals from the house for nothing, but has no warehouse here, so book the collection rather than turning up with it.

The quick answers

The three things people ring up and ask.

Takes furniture

  • British Heart Foundation, St Mary Street
  • Weldmar Hospicecare, Cambridge Road

Every other shop on this page either says no or has not said. Weldmar is the one to drive to; the BHF collects from the house instead.

Will collect

  • British Heart Foundation, St Mary Street
  • Dorset Blind Association, St Mary Street
  • Weldmar Hospicecare, Cambridge Road

Open on a Sunday

  • British Heart Foundation, St Mary Street
  • Julia's House, St Mary Street
  • British Red Cross, St Mary Street
  • Dorset Blind Association, St Mary Street

  • Margaret Green Animal Rescue, St Thomas Street
  • Weldmar Hospicecare, Dorchester Road
  • Weldmar Hospicecare, Portland Road
  • Sue Ryder, Littlemoor Road
  • Weldmar Hospicecare, Easton Street

Usually 10am to 4pm. Charity shops run on volunteers, so a Sunday can go dark at short notice.

Julia's House is the children's hospice charity for Dorset and Wiltshire. It runs a furniture collection service nationally, but its own page does not say whether the Weymouth shop is part of it, so ring first.

One that is not what it was. Weldmar's shop on Great George Street is a clearance shop now, everything half price, and it does not take donations any more. Take them round the corner to St Thomas Street instead.

And two we could not pin down

Listed here rather than left out, because leaving them out would look like they had gone.

RSPCA West Dorset

The branch runs a shop in Weymouth but we could not find the address on the RSPCA's own pages, only on Facebook and on volunteering adverts.

Cats Protection Weymouth and District

The branch is active locally and a shop is mentioned on its Facebook page, but nothing on cats.org.uk confirms an address.

Know the address? Tell us and it goes up the same day.

Where this came from

Every shop on this page was read off the charity's own shop finder, or the Charity Retail Association directory where the charity does not publish one. Nothing came off a review site or a listings site. A blank means the charity has not published it, not that the answer is no, and hours on a charity shop depend on volunteers turning up, so ring before a long drive.
