Events & Activities
Caberfeidh Horizons runs a community foodshare area in the Community Hub in conjunction with Kingussie Co-op. This is a waste reduction project aimed at reducing local food waste going into landfill. If you can use any of the donated food, please call in.
The Community Hub also acts as a centre for distributing emergency food parcels for the Badenoch & Strathspey Foodbank. Vouchers for a food bank parcel are issued from local care professionals and other organisations including Citizens Advice Bureau, your GP, Social Worker or Health Visitor, local minister and other voluntary organisations.
Donations and Pick-up Information
We welcome donations for all three of our shops at the Community Hub. Books, clothes, bric-a-brac, furniture, toys, sports equipment, small electrical items, curios............the list is endless.
Most importantly, if you are a UK taxpayer, we would be grateful if you would consider Gift Aiding your donation. This enables us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 we make from selling your goods. Ask any of our staff for a form or more information.
We have limited storage and workshop space so, if your items are large or need any repairs before being saleable, please contact us first. Our trainees and volunteers try to repair and refurbish items and we work with other recycling charities to reduce waste where possible.
We have a small van that can collect or deliver locally if you are unable to transport donations. Unfortunately, we cannot take sofas, large armchairs, beds (including duvets and pillows) or large white goods. Please call us on 01540 662846 with any questions.
