Host a Clothing Drive

After Your Collection

To send donations after a clothing drive, please follow the guidelines below.

Remove anything we can't take

We can't accept used cosmetics or underwear, men's clothing, coat hangers, damaged or dirty clothing, and anything that is not suitable for the workplace.​

 

Back your donations securely

Please use strong and durable packing boxes to pack and send donations. We ask that you do not send clothing drive donations in suitcases, laundry bags or anything similar.

Send them to us by courier or in person

Please contact us to arrange your delivery. Make sure that you clearly label each box so that we can figure out where it’s come from and pass on our thanks!

Much of our clothing stock comes from the generosity of individuals who have donated as part of a clothing drive.

By organising a clothing drive in your office, corporate building or even across your company, you’ll be supporting unemployed and disempowered women in London to build a better future for themselves. We’re grateful for the clothing donations we receive from organisations and are so appreciative for the fact that these events help to raise awareness for our cause and the impactful work we do.

 

We usually recommend that you reach out to us before organising a clothes drive. This helps us to manage our stock and the collection of clothing.

What We Need

We're happy to provide guidance around what we need. This ensures that items collected as part of a suit drive will be used to help deliver our services.

New and gently used women's clothing for work

We need clean and wearable workwear for women. These clothing donations are fundamental in ensuring we can continue to deliver our core services.

Shoes, accessories and new cosmetics

We also accept handbags, shoes and other accessories that are suitable for the workplace. For hygiene reasons, any cosmetics that are donated must be new and sealed.

Monetary donations

 

We are grateful to receive financial donations that help us to continue our vital operations. For security reasons, we ask that you do not put money in the pockets of any donated items.
