Ullapool’s community shop.
Reusing, restoring and rehoming pre-loved items.
Our welcoming, specialist team runs events in the community to repair, reuse and rehome items, restores furniture and PAT tests all electrical appliances before they appear in the shop.
Items donated to the New Broom must be sellable. We can only accept items that are washed and clean, not broken or damaged. A list of items you can donate is below.
The New Broom provides vital year-round employment and volunteering opportunities in the community and is a long term project of Lochbroom and Ullapool Community Trust Ltd (LUCT).
We’re self-financing too and put all surplus funds into other local activities organised by LUCT.
The New Broom supports the Lochbroom and Ullapool community’s priority to live more sustainable lives by reusing, restoring and rehoming household items.
Shop in-store. Donate items. Apply to volunteer. Visit us. Follow us.
