Incredible Charities We Work With

Our organisation partners with distinguished and highly regarded UK charities. By collecting second-hand clothes, we provide charities without a network of charity shops or the resources to process such donations, with an alternative means of raising funds. Furthermore, we offer a hassle-free and convenient option for individuals who wish to donate clothes, which is of great importance to our charity partners.

What they say about us!

Many clients throughout the UK have supported us. Check out some of the feedback they've given us.

Kate J.
Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire

Very polite gentlemen came to collect the clothes. I chose the Funzi Bodo charity and hope that my donation makes a difference in this world.

Harry K.
Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Very easy to arrange a date for collection. I was given a rough time window in which a driver came and collected the clothes. Was very easy and quick will definitely use this service again.

Ellie S.
Darlington, County Durham

Very happy with the collection! Due to the large donation we wanted to give we were not comfortable leaving the collection out the same day/time as our recycling. Upon calling Bag2Charity, they arranged a pick up time suitable to me.

Jason L.
Leeds, West Yorkshire

Very happy thank you! Didn’t actually see the pick up driver but I put the bags out Friday night and they was gone by Saturday late afternoon so very impressed with how quick they came to collect. Will definitely call you guys in the future for collections.

Olivia A.
Ripon, North Yorkshire

I had quite a few bags for collection, service was friendly and as arranged. Will definitely be using them again to donate to a charity.

Have a question? Get an answer!

We’ve compiled a series of frequently asked questions, if you still have further questions please feel free to get in touch.

What can I donate?

We can accept good condition: adults, children’s and baby clothes, shoes, handbags, bras, hats, belts, curtains, towels and bed linen (but no duvets or pillows please, sorry). We also accept bric-a-brac; such as antiques, clocks, kitchenware, musical instruments,  ornaments, pictures, books, sports equipment, tools, toys, and utensils.

When are you next collecting in my area?

We typically visit areas every 1-2 weeks, although this can vary. If you would like to know about the next collection in your area, visit our Book A Collection page.

What happens to my donations?

After collecting your donation, we transport it to one of our warehouses where it is weighed. This process enables us to determine how much money will be donated to the charity that you have chosen to support.

These donations are then transported via trucks to the least economically developed countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, South-East Asia, and the Middle East. Once they arrive, the donated items are sold at affordable prices to benefit the local communities.

What percentage of profits go to the charity?

After our costs have been covered, we allocate a contracted percentage of profits to each of our partner charities, ranging from 75% to 95%.
