Leave a legacy gift in your will
The Mill has touched the hearts of many, and we’ve seen incredible acts of kindness over the years. Together, we make this place special and feel so touched that people would think to donate to us in this way.
A gift in your will is a lasting act of kindness that helps protect and grow everything the community values about this place, ensuring its impact continues for generations to come.
Donate books to The Honesty Library
The Honesty Library is a place where everyone can share books. If you have any books that you’d like to donate for someone else to read, then we’d be delighted to accept them at The Mill. You can peruse the shelves and pick up another for yourself at the same time!
Donate to The Mill’s play room
The play room is a popular spot for many parents, carers and little ones in the area. We appreciate the many offers to donate toys but with limited space it’s not always possible to give them a new home here. However, if you have large or more premium items please get in touch with info@themille17.org or pop in, as these can sometimes find a place here or sold at our events to help us raise valuable funds.
Donate food and toiletry items at The Mill
Eat or Heat is a small, community-led food bank run entirely by volunteers, dedicated to helping local individuals and families facing food insecurity. Rooted in compassion and supported by generous donations, they provide essential groceries and support to those in need.
The Mill accepts non-perishable food and toiletry donations on their behalf. Volunteers visit us regularly to collect donations and bring it to the food bank for distribution.
