Where To Donate Your Pre-Loved Clothes

There’s no excuse for old or unworn clothes to end up in landfill these days. Because January is a natural time for a wardrobe clear-out, we’ve rounded up some of the places where your items can find a second lease of life…

All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army makes it easy to donate your pre-loved clothing, with around 8,000 clothing banks conveniently located across the UK. Every item you give is either re-sold, reused or recycled, reducing environmental waste and raising funds for vital projects that support communities nationwide.

Little Village

Supporting disadvantaged and disabled children, Little Village will gladly receive your unwanted clothes. Its free clothing collection service makes donating simple – the team will pick up items directly from your home or workplace. All of your donations are then passed on, sold or recycled.

Neem London

For your slightly higher-end pre-loved pieces, consider sending them to Neem London. The sustainable menswear brand takes unwanted 100% cotton or 100% wool items and upcycles them into new garments using an end-to-end production system that’s 100% carbon neutral and obsessively sustainable. Not only will you be helping to reduce waste, but you’ll also receive a £30 discount voucher for your next Neem order over £100.

John Lewis

From jackets and dresses to jeans and school uniforms, all John Lewis stores accept and recycle pre-loved clothes to give them a new life. Just bring five or more items to drop off at any John Lewis till – plus, if you’re a My John Lewis member, you’ll receive £5 off Fashion Rental when you spend over £50.

Simply send photos of your designer goods via WhatsApp, and a luxury advisor will guide you through the easy consignment process.
