Send donations to Shelter shops for free

As part of HSBC UK's partnership with Shelter, they're proudly sponsoring the sort and send service. Send donations to Shelter shops for free by dropping off your preloved items at any Yodel drop-off point.

Having a clearout? You can send your unwanted items to our charity shops by using Shelter's free sort and send service.

All you need is some packaging to pack up your donations. It's easy, free and you'll be helping fight the housing emergency with every item you donate.

How to send your donations to Shelter

Find your nearest Yodel drop-off point

There are thousands of conveniently located drop-off points across the country. Most of them are in local convenience stores, so you won't need to go to a post office.

Pack up your donations

Each parcel can weigh up to 10kg and measure up to 60cm by 50cm by 50cm.

Generate a Freepost label

Complete this form to generate a Freepost label. You can either show the label barcode to a member of staff at the drop-off point or print the label at home.

Please add Gift Aid at this point if you're a UK taxpayer. There's no cost for you and we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 raised through sales of your donated items.
