Clothes Aid

At Clothes Aid, we're more than just a clothes collection company - we're a social business with a mission to do good for UK charities and our planet. We're a company that's committed to raising funds and recycling, and we're proud to have been doing it since 1996.

Our History

We've always been driven by our cause, rather than our bottom line. We believe that everyone can make a difference, and that's why we've worked alongside some of the biggest and smallest, national and regional charities to contribute over 14 million to UK charities with the help of the great British public's donations.

What We Do

Our favourite donations were once your most favourite possessions. That beautiful silk evening dress that's been to one party in ten whole years, tailor-made for recycling. The leather tote your ex bought on holiday, bag it up. The designer heels that entranced you to the till, boot 'em out. When your trousers don't measure up anymore, let us lighten your load. We aim to make sure they live on in someone else's wardrobe.

Our Process

We offer a simple service: look out for one of our clothes collection bags through your door or get in touch for a collection. Fill the bag with your pre-loved clothes and fashion accessories. Leave it out for us to collect. Then fill your boots with sunshine, you've recycled and done something good for charity.

Our Impact

More than 45,000 households donate each week because they find our service hassle-free and it supports great causes. Everything we collect is sold on to stock European department stores that are full of premium second-hand clothes and accessories from Britain. What can we say, they love our style.

Giving Back

Depending on the collection overheads we've incurred and what licences or Exception Orders the charities hold, we give a contractually predetermined percentage, between 84% and 95%, of the profit to our charities. The modest amount remaining is reinvested so we can continue our fundraising duties.
