Donate

If you have any outdoor gear that you no longer use you can donate it to us and we will put it to good use.
Our donations are used on for our own youth groups, sold on our eBay shop, or donated to Highland Support Refugees. All proceeds from eBay go straight back into our charitable work.
We take (almost) all categories of outdoor gear:
- Camping Equipment
- Snow sports Equipment incl. modern skis and snowboards
- Wetsuits
- Winter Clothing
- Walking Boots/Shoes
- General Outdoor Clothing
Unfortunately we cannot take;
- Heavily damaged or soiled items
- Climbing Rope & Harnesses
- Helmets of any Kind
- Buoyancy Aids
- Older ski equipment
- Older mountaineering boots or vintage crampons
Where can you donate your gear?

We're delighted to launch a major partnership with Glenmore Lodge, Scotland's National Outdoor Centre. You can donate here if you're attending a course at the Lodge, or if you're just passing whilst visiting the Northern Cairngorms. There is a large indoor donation cupboard inside the main building - just ask at Reception.

You can drop off donations at their Continuum Project donation point in store.

The most direct option, especially if you're donating a larger volume of items, is to bring your donation straight to our base on Grant Street. We're at the Merkinch Welfare Hall on Grant Street, with free parking right outside our building. Please phone ahead - we are only a small team so sometimes the office is not open during the hours advertised below.
