Emmaus Bolton

I contacted this organisation after I saw their details listed across multiple websites specifically to donate a king size mattress in good condition, which all the links say they do. I sent an email and received a response back from Tony, who advised they don't take mattresses.

I was mindful that the multiple websites indicated that they did which must be annoying for them if they do not so I replied and made them aware of this. Not even the decency to acknowledge or thank me for letting him know or even ask which websites. just because you work for a charity doesn't excuse poor manners.

Tried to organise a COLLECTION online (please note the word COLLECTION)
Heard nothing and had to ring.

When these people are arriving they ring when nearby to tell you they are coming to LOOK, at your items.
In a nutshell this supposed COLLECTION means that they come to pick and choose what items they want

The very first item i had ready to load was a vintage 1930s bed, after already mentioning this item when arranging collection, i was then told at the door they didnt want it!
I promptly sent them away empty handed for wasting my time, and they claim that they are desperate for items for there cause.

Would rate it 0 i
Snigger and turn there heads at you
once you give details they search for your details online As the last time I was in I got asked if I was from a area of Bolton . The only way you would know this is if you search my name online !! As I only use the food bank !!! People I. The food bank which are all lovely people and do good work . Be careful when purchasing and giving your details

There is a treasure-house of goods here - s/h furniture, every household item you can think of, bric-a-brac, books, toys - whatever comes in through their doors every day. Prices are excellent and the fellows are most helpful. I have bought all sorts of bargains here - and it helps a worthy cause. Always first port of call if I need something.
