Perfect Partners

Richard Winterton Auctioneers has announced a new partnership with Grace Cares. The family firm carries out around a dozen house clearances each week across the area and holds weekly sales at The Lichfield Auction Centre, featuring hundreds of lots. Going forward, care equipment sourced through these clearances will be donated to Grace Cares, where it will be rescued, refurbished, and rehomed to help those who need it most, rather than ending up in landfill.

This partnership aligns both organisations around shared values of reuse, dignity, and community care. It’s a commitment to pay it forward: giving care items a second life while creating real social impact for older people, unpaid caregivers, and care providers across the UK.

"The auction world revolves around recycling in one way or another," said Tom Winterton, auctioneer and associate director at Richard Winterton Auctioneers. "We regularly come across care equipment that could still make a real difference to someone’s life. This partnership ensures that nothing goes to waste, and everything goes to those who need it. There is tremendous synergy with Grace Cares and we couldn’t be happier with this partnership."

This partnership supports Grace Cares’ bold long-term ambition: to help 1 million people through sustainable care equipment and social support.
