Visit A Vista Charity Shop

A selection of books on display in one of Vista's shops, with the Vista logo mounted on the wall behind.

Donating Items for the Vista Shops to Sell

Why not have a good declutter with the added motivation that any unwanted items you donate will help Vista to support more local children, young people, and adults living with sight or dual sensory loss?

We’re always grateful for donations of high-quality items, including men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories; toys, books, CDs, computer games, and bric-a-brac items.

You can drop off items you’d like to donate during shop opening hours.

When you drop items off at a shop, please consider registering to enable Vista to claim Gift Aid for the items you have donated. Doing this will boost the value of your donations by an additional 25p for every £1 raised from the sale of goods you donate, raising more funds to support local people living with sight loss.

Volunteering at a Vista Charity Shop

Have you got a few hours to spare each week? We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic and committed volunteers to help serve customers, sort donated stock and manage the shop floor. By lending a hand, you can help us raise vital funds, all whilst having fun and developing important skills.

There are a variety of opportunities on offer - visual merchandisers to help with window and shop displays, treasure hunters to research items of value, and creative volunteers to add value to stock by upcycling.

For more information, please visit our volunteering vacancies page.
