It also gives charities a way to provide affordable clothing to those that need it, all while raising funds for good causes. There are many people who can’t afford new clothes, which makes second-hand Western fashions popular. There is great need for pre-owned clothing in countries less affluent than the UK. We act responsibly with all donations, using them to raise essential funds for The Salvation Army and avoiding unnecessary waste going to landfill. Items sold here in the UK make the best profit for us, enabling us to help more people.Īny clothing we are not able to sell in our shops is sold for reuse overseas. Our staff and volunteers sort donations, and saleable items are cleaned (all clothing and home linens are steamed) and displayed on the shop floor.Ĭlothing donations we receive through clothing banks and door-to-door collections also end up on the shelves of our charity shops. SATCoL encourage the reuse and recycling of second-hand clothing and large items, such as furniture.Īll high-quality products donated to our charity shops and donation centres will be offered for sale in-store.
