RSPCA O&F Thatcham Shop

31/05/2024

A big thank you goes out to everyone who already donates to our shop and Wildlife Rescue Centre! Our charity shops raise the majority of the funds needed to run our Wildlife Rescue Centre, pay the bills and our staff. Without our shops there wouldn’t be RSPCA Oak and Furrows. To raise funds, we need good quality donations to sell.

There’s the old saying ‘if you don’t ask, you don’t get’. We are asking you, our wonderful supporters, to please have a clear out and bring the clothes you no longer wear, and household items you no longer use along to our charity shops. Your generous donations can help us raise much needed funds and ensure a second chance for injured, unwell and orphaned wildlife. We have ten charity shops located across the North Wiltshire and Newbury District, to find your closest shop click the link below:

Don't forget, if you're a UK taxpayer you can Gift Aid your donations for free and we can claim an additional 25% from the sale of your donated goods from the government!

Please bring any items into our Thatcham Charity Shop during opening hours. We will then pass onto Oak & Furrows. Thank You.

Could you donate any old sheets, towels or duvet covers that you may have? We are using a lot and our patients really do like a nice fresh bed daily!

If you can help, donations can be dropped at the wildlife centre or at any of our RSPCA charity shops in Swindon Gorse Hill, Royal Wootton Bassett, Marlborough, Witney, Warminster, Newbury or Thatcham. If you are able to drop at one of our shops, please mark this as for the Wildilfe Centre.

Thank you for your support.
