About Pembrokeshire FRAME
What is Pembrokeshire FRAME?
Pembrokeshire FRAME is a local charity and social enterprise based in Pembrokeshire. We support people through volunteering, training, supported placements and meaningful occupation, while also promoting reuse, recycling and affordable access to household items.
What does FRAME do?
FRAME combines social support with environmental action. Our work includes reuse shops, furniture donations and collections, volunteering, supported placements, furniture upcycling, upholstery, woodwork, gardening, eCommerce, community workshops, bulky waste collections and ethical house clearances.
How does FRAME help the environment?
FRAME helps reduce waste by encouraging reuse, repair, recycling and upcycling. Donated furniture and household items are given the chance of a second life wherever possible, helping keep useful items in circulation and reducing what goes to waste.
How does FRAME support the community?
FRAME provides meaningful volunteering, supported opportunities, training and work experience. We also support people facing hardship by offering affordable reused household items and, where suitable referrals are made, help through furniture crisis support.
Donating items to FRAME
How can I donate furniture or household items?
You can donate suitable items by bringing them to one of our shops during opening hours, or by requesting a furniture collection for larger items.
For large items, please use our online collection form or contact us before bringing anything in.
What items can I donate?
We welcome clean, complete and reusable furniture, household goods, bric-a-brac, clothing, books, toys and other suitable donations.
Larger furniture items should be in good reusable condition. Upholstered items usually need a valid fire label. If you are unsure, please contact us before donating.
Can I leave donations outside when FRAME is closed?
No. Please only bring donations during opening hours or when a collection has been arranged. Items left outside can become damaged, unsafe or unusable, and this creates extra cost and pressure for the charity.
Do you collect donations from homes?
Yes, we can collect suitable larger items where possible. Please complete the collection request form and include clear details about the items you would like to donate.
Our team will contact you to discuss whether the items are suitable and arrange next steps.
Do you accept Gift Aid?
Yes. If you are a UK taxpayer, signing up for Gift Aid can help FRAME raise more from eligible donated items at no extra cost to you. Please ask a member of staff in store.

Collections, house clearances and room hire
How does bulky waste collection work?
Bulky waste collections are arranged through Pembrokeshire County Council’s My Account service. Once your request has been submitted and passed to FRAME, we will contact you to arrange collection details.
Items should only be placed outside when FRAME has instructed you to do so.
How much does bulky waste collection cost?
The current charge is £25 for 1–5 items and £5 for every additional item. A 3-piece suite counts as three items, and a table with four chairs counts as five items.
Payment is made in advance through the council booking process.
Can you collect heavy items such as pianos?
No. Items that require more than two people to move cannot currently be collected. This includes very heavy items such as pianos.
Do you offer house clearances?
Yes. FRAME Direct offers ethical house clearances, helping clear properties responsibly while prioritising reuse wherever possible.
Can I hire a room at The Green Shed?
Yes. The Green Room is available for meetings, training, workshops, support groups, small events and community activities. Room 4 is also available as a smaller room option.
