We distribute products including personal hygiene, household, clothes, toys and technology, donated by manufacturers and retailers, to charities, community groups, food banks and schools across the UK.
We are currently supporting 500,000 people each week. In 2023 we unlocked over £25m in savings into the voluntary sector. This helped charitable organisations meet the increasing need in their communities, at a time when their own resources are stretched.

We create powerful partnerships, enabling more communities to thrive.

We are a practical response to the widening gap in society. We help meet today’s need and use our insights to reduce tomorrow’s. 2024 is the fourth year of our ambitious five-year strategy to triple our impact
