How your generosity can make a difference Make a donation

Charity Shops

Our seven charity shops offer a range of preloved items - a wonderful collection of donated goods, ranging from clothes, to household goods to furniture and more.

We are always looking for good quality used or surplus items to stock in our shops. Electrical products are accepted for PAT testing.

If you have some free time, why not come in and volunteer for a few hours with us in one of our shops? You'll be in good company - our shops volunteers are an award winning team and were recognised in the 2016 Dorset Volunteering Awards! Volunteering will help you learn new skills, meet new people and you will be helping us to raise valuable funds that go directly towards Prama's work, supporting Dorset's older people, people with dementia and carers. Call 01202 207300 or pop into one of our shops in West Moors, Kinson, Tuckton, Parkstone, Ashley Cross, Ringwood or on Poole High Street for a chat.

Launching soon : preloved items on the official Prama ebay page.

A massive thank to the staff and Customers at Asda Poole for their lovely cheque for our Skinner Street pop in group. Rona Starling, Asda’s community Champion, presented the cheque for £530 on behalf of Asda and Bridget Barrett, Manager of PramaLIFE Poole, went to receive the cheque.

We'd like to save our biggest thank you to Linda Dixon and Diane Maton, who are the joint leaders of this very popular group. You ladies inspire us, and we hope your group plans something nice with the money.

Gender Pay Gap Reporting 2017-2018

Prama is delighted to achieve figures significantly better than the national average. In practice the average of female staff rates is actually slightly higher than the male average. This is due to there being more women filling middle management, training and administration roles, which carry pay rates above the averages for care work and shop staff. Pramacare has a predominantly female workforce with men representing only 8.5% of the total.
