Castle Quay is calling on the local community to turn post-festive clutter into a force for good with the launch of its “Gifts Reimagined” campaign.

From now on, shoppers are invited to donate new, unwanted Christmas gifts to support The Sunshine Centre, a vital charity providing help to families across Banbury.

The initiative offers a sustainable and guilt-free solution for those items that weren’t "quite right" this year. Instead of letting tucked-away presents gather dust, residents can drop them off at the dedicated collection point located at the Castle Quay Customer Service Desk.

From Donation to Donation-Based Shopping

All contributed items will be given a second life in a special Gifts Reimagined Pop-Up Shop, which is set to open its doors on Wednesday, 18th February.

Every penny raised through donations at the pop-up shop will go directly to The Sunshine Centre. This funding will bolster the charity’s efforts to provide essential resources, guidance, and support systems for parents and children in the local area.

"We all have those gifts that sit in the back of a cupboard," says Liz Swift, Retail Liaison Manager at Castle Quay. "Gifts Reimagined is about decluttering with a purpose. By donating these items, our shoppers are directly contributing to the incredible work The Sunshine Centre does for families right here in our community."

How to Participate

Residents can bring their new, unused items to the Customer Service Desk during regular centre hours starting immediately. From toiletry gift sets and toys to tech and homeware, every gift donated helps ensure the Pop-Up Shop is a success when it opens this February.
