Donate
We welcome and appreciate one-off or regular donations. A regular donation will ensure that we can continue to run our drop-in centre, classes and activities and offer food and refreshments. This will allow us to continue to support our visitors in becoming independent and active members of the community.

Other donations
Clothing
We operate a free clothing bank for our clients, which is stocked entirely by donations. If you have clean, good-quality clothes, that you would like to donate please contact us via email at info@notredamerc.org.uk to arrange a convenient time to drop-off.
At this time, we are most in need of shoes, children’s and men’s clothes.
Toiletries
In addition to clothing, we also offer our visitors free toiletries and sanitary products. If you can donate new, unopened toiletries (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, deodorant, disposable razors, shaving cream) or sanitary products, please get in touch with us to arrange a drop-off.
Food
During our drop-in sessions, we provide visitors with snacks, sandwiches, and hot meals (when a cook is available). If you are a restaurant, food store, or catering company with surplus food to share, please reach out to explore how we might be able to work together and put your donations to good use.
Gifts in wills
If you would like to leave a legacy gift in your will, this can make a lasting difference to vulnerable people in need. Your solicitor will advise you how you can leave a gift to Notre Dame Refugee Centre.
Grants
As a small charity, we rely on generous support from charitable trusts and foundations. If you are a charitable trust or grant-giver and would be interested in supporting Notre Dame Refugee Centre with a grant, please do get in touch with our Director.
