Donating clothes to charity is a great way to give back, but choosing between textile banks and home collection services can be tough. We’ve broken down the pros and cons of each option to help you make a decision.
One of the easiest and most convenient ways to donate your clothes is by using a charity clothes collection service. Many charities offer this service, where they provide you with bags or boxes to fill with your unwanted clothes, and then collect them from your doorstep or a designated location.
Does your business have unwanted clothes – lost property, stock that you can’t sell or unused kit, for example? Arrange a free Donate Clothes collection to raise funds for a British charity.
Interested in what happens to your clothes and other preloved items once we collect them? You’re not alone. In fact, it’s a question we’re regularly asked by visitors to our website and followers on social media. So, we decided to devote this blog to the journey your clothes take once we collect them – and to explaining how your chosen charity benefits.
It’s been 12 months since we launched our clothes collection service – and what a year it’s been. To celebrate turning 1, we’re bringing together some highlights of the past 12 months and looking to the year ahead, as we continue to expand into new areas and onboard new partner charities.
We’re delighted to announce that we have a new partner charity. A huge welcome to Shout, the UK’s only free 24/7 text mental health support service.
Unlike flares, boyfriend jeans or 90s revivals, sustainability is a fashion trend that’s here to stay – and it’s one that we can all get behind. Not only do consumers now expect big industry players to prioritise the planet…
