Nottinghamshire Police Aid Convoys

Donating Goods

Goods from all sources are very welcome whether they come in carrier bags or lorry loads.

If you need them to be collected, please ring Carole or Sandra on 0115 9390 999 and leave a message. If you are able to collect in your area and hold goods for us, please tell Carole and Sandra - they will be very pleased!

Large amounts of goods from manufacturers, warehouses or shops can be collected by an arrangement we have with a number of local hauliers.

We can cope with any amount of goods because of a long established good relationship with warehouses and various friends and contacts locally and across the UK. We accept clothing, shoes, bedding, toiletries and cleaning materials, useful articles such as tools and computers.

We try to service schools, hospitals and health centres abroad with whatever they need.

We are always careful not to send inappropriate goods, or too many of the same article, and will stagger our distribution to suit. If at all possible, we canvass 12 months in advance to ensure the cargo matches the need.

A schedule and photographs of the distribution follow delivery and we have learned not to deliver to anyone who cannot prove a fair distribution system.
