Donate Goods
- Please see our list below for items we need for our winter night shelter and on an ongoing basis.
We update this list regularly so please keep checking! If it isn’t listed below, we don’t need it right now. Have a look at the bottom of the page for alternative places to donate.
- Dropping off donations
You can donate every weekday at our office on Castle Street, High Slough. We’re open 9am – 4pm but please call 01494 447699 in advance.
Please contact us if you have any questions about giving goods.
Please buy and/or donate items from wherever you like but we use an Amazon wish list to visually show some of the items we need.
IMPORTANT: If you do use Amazon, enter our address manually as there is a problem with their delivery system not recognising our gift registry address. Please arrange to have the item delivered to our office address: Slough Homeless Connection, Oakley Hall, 8 Castle Street, High Slough, HP13 6RF.
