Pre-loved books, optics & tool donations
We're excited to announce we will soon be accepting donations of pre-loved books, optics and tool donations.
We are setting up five official donation points across our organisation. Soon, you’ll be able to drop off pre-loved books, optics (such as binoculars and scopes) and tools that are still in good and usable condition. These items will then be resold or reused to support our conservation work across the Trust.
What items will we accept
Books – all genres including children’s, nature, fiction, non-fiction etc.
Optics – binoculars, cameras and lenses.
Music – CDs, records and similar items.
Tools – hand and power tools that can be utilised by our teams onsite for reserve, nature, and building maintenance, as well as our developing Men in Sheds project.
At this stage, unfortunately we will not be accepting any other donated items.
