Objectives

With 22% of the UK population living in poverty and 7% of those living in persistent poverty we see more and more people on the street begging for help, in addition to those we don't see, who are struggling to get by.

We provide access to the stocks of clothes held at charity shops, to people who are unable to afford to clothe themselves for whatever reason, were we are able restore some dignity to them by arranging for them to go into a charity shops and redeem the vouchers we provide in exchange for clothes.

Activities

We partner with third party charities such as Foodbanks, Homeless charities, local community organisations and others where we provide them with our vouchers for them to identify those most in need to benefit from the distribution of our vouchers to be redeemed at charity shops in exchange of clothes,

We also partner with charity shops where our vouchers can be accepted in exchange for clothes. This then not only provides the provision of clothes to those most in need, but in turn when the vouchers are redeemed back to us for repayment by the charity shop, we are also providing the charity shops cause with additional funding.
