About Us

A Little About Rummage Rescuers

Rummage Rescuers is a not-for-profit social enterprise rooted in the heart of Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire.  Established in 2015 , our first shop opened in the vibrant Mill Hill community to meet urgent local needs - offering affordable, preloved items to help people furnish their homes and live with diginity.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and funding partners, we've since expanded to include a Preloved Bookstore and Books & Blooms shop which specialises in artificial flowers for funeral hire and several warehouses in Whalley Banks that manage furniture collections and deliveries.

We don't just serve - we support.

Our team reaches people in crisis or on tight budgets across the borough via low-cost or free home deliveries, making sure everyone has access to essential items when they need them most. Our doors are open to all, and we welcome shoppers, donators and volunteers from every walk of life.

Volunteering with Rummage Rescurers offers hands-on experience, skills development, and a chance to give back to the community all while being part of something meaningful.

Whether you shop, donate or volunteer your'e helping us build a stronger, more connected community.

Rummage Rescuers: Shop. Donate. Volunteer. Make a Difference.
