Charity shops in Uxbridge cover more ground than most people expect. There’s a well-known book-focused Oxfam and a dedicated furniture reuse store among them. There are four genuine options across the town centre, each verified against its own charity’s listing. So here’s where to find all four.
Quick answer: Uxbridge has four verified charity shops: British Heart Foundation and Oxfam on the High Street, the BHF Home Store in The Pavilions and Trinity Furniture Store on Redford Way.

Quick comparison
| Shop | Address | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| British Heart Foundation | 6 High Street, UB8 1JN | Clothing, books, general donations |
| BHF Home Store | 6-12 Pantile Walk, The Pavilions, UB8 1LP | Furniture, electricals, homeware |
| Oxfam | 150 High Street, UB8 1JY | Books, clothing, general donations |
| Trinity Furniture Store | Redford House, Redford Way, UB8 1SZ | Furniture reuse |
As always, it’s worth checking current opening hours before a visit. Charity shop hours can shift more than a chain store’s, particularly around bank holidays or when a shop is short-staffed on volunteers that week.
British Heart Foundation
Address: 6 High Street, Uxbridge, UB8 1JN. Phone: 01895 271417.
This is BHF’s general shop in Uxbridge, based directly on the High Street rather than inside either shopping centre. It’s open Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 5pm, while on Sunday it opens from 11am to 5pm.
Like most BHF shops, it takes donated clothing, books, bric-a-brac and general household items. Proceeds also go towards the charity’s heart research and support work. It’s worth noting this is a separate store from BHF’s dedicated Home Store, covered next. So it’s not the same shop under two names.
BHF Home Store
Address: 6-12 Pantile Walk, The Pavilions Shopping Centre, Uxbridge, UB8 1LP. Phone: 01895 223690.
This is a dedicated furniture and electricals store, distinct from the general BHF shop on the High Street. It’s also based inside The Pavilions shopping centre, on Pantile Walk. Opening hours run Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm, while on Sunday it opens from 11am to 5pm.
Stock here covers sofas, tables, beds, wardrobes, TVs and home appliances, all second-hand and donated. It’s a genuinely useful stop for anyone furnishing a flat or looking for a bargain on larger items. That’s still a different crowd than its clothing and books shoppers.
Oxfam
Address: 150 High Street, Uxbridge, UB8 1JY. Phone: 01895 272468.
Oxfam’s Uxbridge shop sells both new and second-hand items, with books forming a particular strength. Donations arrive daily, which keeps the stock turning over regularly. That makes it worth a repeat visit for anyone specifically hunting for books, rather than a single trip.
Beyond books, the shop carries the usual Oxfam mix of clothing, homeware and general donated goods. Proceeds also support the charity’s international development and emergency relief work.
Trinity Furniture Store
Address: Redford House, Redford Way, Uxbridge, UB8 1SZ. Phone: 0208 797 9500.
This one works differently from the other three. It’s the storefront of Trinity Homeless Projects, a local charity. It provides coaching and accommodation to rough sleepers in the Hillingdon borough, and the shop itself focuses on furniture reuse. It’s open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, but closed Sundays.
It’s worth being clear on this one, since the name can cause confusion. This is Trinity Homeless Projects, a Hillingdon-based charity. It’s not the similarly-named Trinity Hospice, as that charity operates in a different part of the country entirely. Buying here supports local homelessness work specifically, rather than a national hospice charity.
Clothing and books vs furniture: which shop for what
Because of what they sell, the four shops split naturally. British Heart Foundation and Oxfam both cover the traditional charity shop mix: clothing, books, bric-a-brac and smaller household items. Oxfam’s book selection is the standout of the two, with daily donations keeping stock fresh.
For anything larger, the BHF Home Store and Trinity Furniture Store are the two to know. Both also specialise in furniture. BHF’s Home Store adds electricals and appliances to the mix, while Trinity focuses specifically on furniture reuse as part of its homelessness support work.
Donating to Uxbridge’s charity shops
All four shops accept donations, though it’s worth checking what each one takes before dropping items off. BHF and Oxfam both take clothing, books and general household goods at their High Street locations. For furniture specifically, the BHF Home Store and Trinity Furniture Store are the right destinations, rather than the general shops.
Trinity’s focus on supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness makes it a particularly direct way to support local work. That’s also different from giving to a national cause. It’s worth bearing that in mind if choosing where to donate matters to you.
Getting to Uxbridge’s charity shops
Three of the four sit within a few minutes’ walk of each other: British Heart Foundation, Oxfam and the BHF Home Store. Between them, they also cover the High Street and The Pavilions. Trinity Furniture Store, on Redford Way, sits slightly further out. It still remains within easy reach of the town centre on foot, just a short walk past the Civic Centre.
All four are accessible from Uxbridge Underground station, served by the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, without needing a car. Bus routes through the town centre also stop within easy walking distance of each one.
Why charity shop stock changes so often
Charity shops depend entirely on what’s donated, so stock turns over far faster than a standard retailer restocking from a supplier. That’s genuinely part of the appeal for regular visitors. A shop checked on a Tuesday can look completely different by the following week, so a second visit often pays off.
For anyone hunting for something specific, a regular check-in beats a one-off visit. That’s true whether it’s a particular book genre at Oxfam, a specific piece of furniture at Trinity, or a certain style of sofa at the BHF Home Store. Staff at any of the four are usually happy to flag it, so just ask whether something similar to what you’re after has come in recently.
Charity shops vs the British Heart Foundation’s wider network
It’s worth knowing that British Heart Foundation runs over 700 shops across the UK. More than 160 of those are dedicated furniture and electrical stores, like the one in Uxbridge. That scale means consistent pricing and quality checks on electrical items specifically. BHF tests every electrical donation before it goes on sale. That’s a genuine safety step smaller independent sellers can’t always match.
Oxfam also runs a similarly large network. Its Uxbridge branch forms part of a chain that includes specialist bookshops in some towns. Still, the general Uxbridge shop isn’t a dedicated bookshop. Its strong book selection still reflects the same donation-driven model that makes Oxfam’s specialist branches work elsewhere.
Supporting a local cause vs a national one
Choosing between the four shops here can come down to more than just what you’re after. British Heart Foundation and Oxfam are both large national charities. Uxbridge’s shops form a small part of a UK-wide fundraising network for each. Donations and purchases support national and international work respectively. That’s heart research in BHF’s case, and international development and emergency relief for Oxfam.
However, Trinity Furniture Store works differently. As the storefront of Trinity Homeless Projects, every purchase and donation stays genuinely local. It supports coaching and accommodation work for rough sleepers specifically within the Hillingdon borough. That’s a meaningful distinction worth knowing before choosing where to shop or donate, especially if you’d prefer your spending to stay close to home.
How to prepare before you donate or shop
Sort your items before you set off, because clean and usable goods help the shops most. Keep clothing in pairs so shoes and gloves stay matched. Bag books separately, since they weigh more than clothing. If you plan to give furniture or electricals, phone the shop first and ask whether it can take the item, as what each shop accepts can change. The phone numbers are listed above for every shop.
Please do not leave bags outside a closed shop. Items left in the street can get wet or stolen, and they may also be dumped. For anything a shop cannot take, check Hillingdon Council for recycling and waste options.
