Charity Shop
Welcome to the Autism Bedfordshire Charity Shop page! We are a local charity that supports autistic people and their families in Bedfordshire. We sell a variety of items donated by our generous supporters, such as clothes, books, toys, DVDs, household goods and more. All the proceeds from our sales go towards funding our services and activities for the autistic community. By shopping with us, you are not only getting a bargain, but also helping us make a difference in the lives of autistic individuals and their families.

Donations – what would we like to receive?
Our beautiful boutique shops have lots of bargains and a hard to resist range of goods, including accessories, bags, books, clothing, crockery, games, films, jewellery, music, ornaments, art work, shoes and toys. More unusual items such as sports equipment, musical instruments and home furnishings, are also welcome: if you are in any doubt, just ask.

Gift Aid – how to boost your donations
We can claim Gift Aid from the sale of any donated goods. The scheme allows us to claim an extra 25 pence for every £1 a Gift-Aided donation raises. Participants will need to give their contact details to the charity shop when they make a donation. When the goods have been sold, they will be notified how much they have helped to raise for our charity.
Volunteering – join the team
We’re always looking for volunteers, so if you can spare some time each week and would like to become part of one of our amazing shop teams please give us a call or visit one of our shops and pick up a volunteer application form.
