Donate your unwanted Pet or household items
We run community pop-up shops
Please see our Facebook and twitter pages for announcements of when the next shop will be, and when donations are able to be received, please note the warehouse is not manned unless announced as we are often out collecting and delivering during "office hours". Please also note we do not give out pet food from the warehouse, please see our list of outlets if you are in need of cat or dog food.
Do you have any pet or small household items which are new or with life left in them you no longer want? Please consider donating them to us for our community pop-up shops, we have parking right outside the warehouse and are happy to lend a hand to bring items in.
Your donation could help your community as well as helping us to continue to help feed hungry pets. Our community pop up shops try to be cheaper than charity shops, enabling people who might be struggling to afford items such as clothes, pet or household items.
Please note you don't have to be struggling to use our community popup shop, we all love a good bargain, buts its even better when supporting a worth while charity,

Remember us in your will
How The Pet Foodbank service uses gifts in wills.
We use those gifts to continue to support pets to remain at home without knowing hunger.
We understand that when making a will your family must come first but even a small gift will help us to give every person in need the best possible support in their hour of need.
For more information e-mail info@petfoodbankservice.co.uk or call 0787 1926934.
What will your legacy be?
For most of us, our will is one way of looking after the people we care about. We leave them something to make sure they’re ok when we’re gone.
A gift to The Pet Foodbank Service in your will is an extra way of looking after the people you care about who have been affected by poverty. Your own family, friends, and even people you’ll never know. People you will want to help because you know how hard it can be when families are affected by the poverty cycle of people sharing their human food with their pets, causing the owners to suffer from malnutrition or the mental anguish of being unable to afford to feed their pet or worse having to give up their companion to a shelter.
Your gift will help make sure we can be there for owners and pets if they ever need us.
How to leave a legacy for our work.
Please ensure your will includes our full name, registered office address, and our registered charity number:
Pet Foodbank Service
67 Wheatley Road
Ely
Cardiff
CF5 4LU
Registered charity in England & Wales 1179613.
Codicil wording for your Will
A codicil is a supplement to a Will which changes or amends part of that Will. We would always recommend that you speak to your solicitor when making or amending your Will. Should you wish to remember The Pet Foodbank Service in your Will, you could take the following wording suggestions to your solicitor to ensure that your wishes are accurately followed.
Wording for a residuary gift (a percentage of your estate)
'I give the _____ % of my real and personal estate which I can dispose of by Will in any manner I think properly to The Pet Foodbank Service of 67 Wheatley Road, Ely, Cardiff, CF5 4LU (Registered charity in England and Wales 1179613) absolutely for its general charitable purposes and I declare that the receipt of the Chief Executive Officer or other proper officer for the time being of The Pet Foodbank service shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.'
Wording for a pecuniary gift (a specific amount of money)
'I give the sum of £_______ to The Pet Foodbank Service of 67 Wheatley Road, Ely, Cardiff, CF5 4LU (Registered charity in England and Wales 1179613) absolutely for its general charitable purposes and I declare that the receipt of the Chief Executive Officer or other proper officer for the time being of The Pituitary Foundation shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.'
It is important to ensure that the following clause is inserted in your Will, whichever wording you need to use:
'If at my death any charity named as a beneficiary in this Will or any Codicil hereto has changed its name or amalgamated with or transferred its assets to another body then my executors shall give effect to any gift made to such charity as it had been made (in the first case) to the body in its changed name or (in the second place) to the body which results from such amalgamation or to which such transfer has been made.'
Inheritance Tax benefits
The Pet Foodbank service as a registered charity enjoys exemptions from Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Income Tax, and there are many ways in which tax can be saved during the administration of an estate to make a legacy worth even more to the charity. Leaving a legacy to a charity in your Will can be a great way to save Inheritance Tax.
If you leave 10% or more of the net value of your estate to charity in your Will, upon your death your estate may be taxed at 36% rather than 40%. In some cases, this actually means a reduction in the amount of inheritance tax that has to be paid by the estate.
