The largest megastore of its kind in the region, Daisy Chain Megastore is a huge 23,000sqft. From clothing and furniture to lifestyle departments and brand-new products, Daisy Chain Megastore is bringing traditional charity vintage to the city, providing a one-stop shop for those wanting to live a more ethical lifestyle. Whether you’re a vintage fashionista, talented at upcycling or a climate champion there’s something for every shopper.
The store runs a ‘drive and drop’ scheme, making the experience of being a donor more convenient than ever before. We accept donations of good quality items at the Donation Station at the front of the store between 10am and 4pm each day. The team also collects unwanted sofas and furniture free of charge from the surrounding area – contact 0191 4999919 or head into store to book. Items must be clean and in good condition and upholstered or leather furniture, mattresses, divans or bed bases must carry a fire label.
What we can’t accept:
- Please don’t donate broken, stained or otherwise damaged items as we will have to work to dispose of them
- Stained or unhygienic items (clothing, soft furnishings, bedding)
- Used duvets
- White goods, including microwaves, damaged toasters/kettles
- Underwear & Socks (unless still unopened)
- Perishable items
- Children’s car seats/booster seats. This is because we cannot be sure of their history, so cannot sell them on safely.
- Swimming aids
- Crash helmets
- Incomplete items
- Furniture without carelessness causes fire label
- Counterfeit goods
- Used towels
