We may have no storage space left in our shop or have a build up of similar items at our warehouse. If this happens, We will check the donation status of our other sites for you and support you to find the location or if you prefer, suggest a different day to bring the items once we have had a pick up or sold through some of our stored stock, or we will check the donation status of our other sites for you and support you to find the location. (If these options then appear to be inconvenient for you, we will of course let you know if there is another charity collecting near by, but we really hope you will donate to NOAH)
