Your donations will be sold to raise funds for the British Red Cross. We help people cope with disasters, conflicts, and personal crises in the UK and overseas. Learn more here.

An estimated £30 billion worth of clothes that have never been worn are hanging in wardrobes across the UK. By donating your clothes, you are not only extending the life of your item but also helping the environment.

What can my donations to the British Red Cross do?

Support millions of people in crisis across 192 countries, help us respond to emergencies, plan for future ones, and build strong, resilient communities in the UK and overseas.
