Any charity shops still taking books?

Recommended Posts

I have a vast amount of unwanted books following a clearout, including loads of cookery books.


A few weeks back I took some bags of things to the larger Hospice shop, including some books, and they said they were no longer taking books (although no signs to this effect as far as I could see) although they did take those ones.


Does anybody know of a charity shop within reasonable distance which is still taking books and preferably has somewhere to park? Does the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill take them directly, or are they supplied from books taken to other shops?

I found today that there is a plan to raise money for Forest hill Community , they plan to open a new shop Leaf Groove .

"A fantastic space selling books & records to generate income for the community library scheme. A home for culture, art & the written word. Leaf & Groove will be a new hub for the community in SE23."


I asked before and you can leave the books at Forest hill library .


I ll do on tmw ...:)

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
