Donate

Updated: Fri 31 Jul 2026
Every donation helps a young person get outdoors for the first time!

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 Vinted or eBay, or donated to Highland Support Refugees. All proceeds go straight back into our charitable work.

We take (almost) all categories of outdoor gear:

Unfortunately we cannot take;

Where can you donate your gear?

We're delighted to work in 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. 
 

We're so lucky to have our friends at The Ledge Climbing Wall right around the corner from us. A local charity themselves, the Ledge support us when we take our groups climbing there, and kindly host a donation point for us. 

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.
