REuse
Reselling good condition pre-loved books at our highly anticipated Book Fairs is one of the most effective ways we can raise the funding necessary to continue providing our services. Check our website for the date of the next Book Fair. We happily take books in good condition for our shops and fairs as well as rare, antique and collectible books for our Special Auctions. Not only will you feel good about saving them from landfill, all funds raised go back into our services. Donating books to Lifeline contributes to a circular economy and allows us to channel profits into purpose. Lifeline H2HS is proud of our collective and tangible impact – reaching out and holding people safe during times of emotional distress and crisis, and strengthening the resilience and wellbeing of individuals, families and our communities. Every day, we are saving lives with care, compassion and confidential, non-judgemental and inclusive support.
