Clothing & essentials drives
We collect, sort and redistribute clothes, bedding and hygiene kits all year round.
18 tonnes collected and redistributed last year
A warm coat in January is not charity. It is infrastructure.
The need
Families who balance the budget on food have nothing left for a growth spurt, a broken washing machine or a winter that arrives early. Meanwhile, wardrobes across town are full of clothes worn twice.
What we do
- Permanent drop-off points at our office and four partner shops, plus two big seasonal drives
- A sorting line run by volunteers every Thursday: cleaned, checked, sized, nothing torn or stained goes back out
- A free boutique where beneficiaries choose what they like, in a real shop layout with mirrors and hangers
- Bedding, school bags and hygiene kits assembled on demand for social workers across the city
The impact
18 tonnes of clothing and essentials collected and redistributed last year, and 740 families served in the boutique. What we cannot reuse is sold to a textile recycler, the proceeds pay the van’s fuel.
