Community Space
Our Kensal Rise shop is home to a gorgeous, spacious community room that's available for bookings. Host anything from meetings to coffee mornings to crafting events.
There is no fee to book, however in exchange we would love if yourself and your attendees would bring donations into our shop and advertise the availability of our space on social media channels.
If you'd like to find out more, or host an event in our space, please get in touch at kensal.rise@fightforsight.org.uk
Are you driving?
There is paid, timed parking along Chamberlayne Road. Though directly outside our shop is a red route, you can find four loading bays available where Chevening Road meets Chamberlayne Road.
House Clearance Service
Did you know our friendly team and their Fight for Sight van offer a seamless house clearance service? This can be a pain-free way to sort through a house full of furniture and bric-a-brac, while making a meaningful donation that will Save Sight. Change. Lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Who can volunteer at your shops?
Everyone! We’d love you to volunteer with us. Whether you’re looking for work experience (we accept volunteers over the age of 14, especially those working towards their DoE) or you’re looking for a social activity that makes the most of your skills post-retirement, visit out volunteering page to find out more.

What clothing do you accept?
Good quality clothing helps us raise more money that will Save Sight. Change Lives. We don’t sell children’s clothing in our shops but we can accept it to pass it on and stop it going into landfill. You are also very welcome to donate seasonal clothing, which we’ll keep to sell it at the relevant time of year.
-
What donations do you not accept?
We try and make donating as easy as possible but there are some items we are unable to accept. Please see this web page for a full list.
Items on this list actually cost us money to dispose of, so we really appreciate you taking a look at this list before coming in.

Can I donate furniture?
We love small and mid-sized homeware items (e.g. picture frames, glasses, curtains, side tables). If you have a large item, such as a sofa or dining table, why not consider contacting our house clearance service, which can pick up larger items for you? Visit this page for more information on house clearances.
