Why Donate Clothes in London with Bag2Charity

Donating clothes in London has never been more straightforward. There are no trips to a charity shop, no queuing at a textile bank, and no need to take time off work. We collect from your doorstep at a time that suits your schedule, and everything we take goes to one of our trusted charity partners.

London generates an enormous amount of unwanted clothing every year — wardrobes cleared after house moves, children's clothes outgrown in months, declutters that have been put off for too long. Instead of letting those items end up in landfill, a free Bag2Charity collection turns them into real support for a cause you care about. You choose the charity at the point of booking. From humanitarian aid organisations to specialist health and disability charities, all of our partners do vital work — and your donation helps fund it.

Key reasons to book:

• Completely free — no charges, no catches
• No need to be home on collection day
• You choose which charity receives the proceeds
• We accept clothes, shoes, bags, books, toys, kitchenware, soft toys and more
• Weekly collections across Southwest and Central London postcodes
• Email confirmation and day-before text reminder with your driver's ETA

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.
