WATCH: Help support Stepping Stone’s charity shop
The Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services needs your support to keep its doors open by kindly donating any preloved items.
The organisation is reliant upon the generosity of the community, public sector, fundraising, bequests, donations instead of flowers, patient accounts, and the sale of second-hand clothing and goods.
They treat everyone who qualifies despite their financial and social circumstances.

“The impact of donations to our charity shop and the sale of these items can never be underestimated as it makes up at least 60% of the shortfall on our annual budgeted income. Whether you donate your second-hand goods or buy from us, or whether you volunteer to work in our shop, it all adds up and helps to keep our hospice’s doors open so that we can continue with the services we provide,” said Tersia Burger, CEO of Stepping Stone Hospice.
The charity shop welcomes an array of items, including household furniture, general bric-a-brac, clothing, linen, appliances, crockery, cutlery, glassware, books, sporting equipment, and more.
“Without the community, we wouldn’t have this shop because we have everything we have here because of their support. And their donations help us greatly in taking care of our patients, and we truly appreciate them. With the establishment of our new children’s unit, we need more donations,” said Tebogo Segabetla, shop manager.
He requested the community to donate any sellable items kindly.
If you have any of these items or other preloved items you’d like to donate, please contact them on 010 442 5201/5059 to arrange a collection (for bulk and larger items).
Should locals wish to donate their preloved items, they may drop them off at the charity shop at Shop 4, Stats Building, Fore Street, New Redruth, Alberton. The shop is open from 09:00 to 17:00 on weekdays and from 08:00 to 14:00 on Saturdays.
