Supporting Our Store

Our Charity Superstore plays a vital role in helping us support our residents to stay safely housed and move towards independence.

Our store is filled with hand-picked, high-quality pre-loved and vintage items, including clothing, furniture, electricals, artwork, and more. Every sale directly raises funds for our Supported Accommodation, which provides a safe place to live and tailored support for young people who might otherwise face homelessness.

By shopping with us, donating items, or volunteering your time, you’re helping to:

  • Keep vulnerable young people housed and supported

  • Provide second chances and opportunities for growth

  • Reduce waste and support a more sustainable community

Your support helps us turn pre-loved items into new beginnings for local young people.

House Clearances with a Purpose

While Newmarket Open Door doesn’t offer house clearance services directly, we proudly partner with East Anglia House Clearance Services.

When you book with them and mention us, you’ll receive a discount, and any suitable items will be donated to our Charity Superstore, helping to fund our accommodation projects and reduce waste.
