Our work is needed more than ever as we raise funds, connect with local communities, and help reduce clothing and furniture waste across the UK. With over 700 stores we make a significant environmental impact by preventing around 70,000 tonnes of unwanted items from going to landfill each year. We receive 1.6 million items donated to our home stores and 9.8 million bags of donated items, and we will continue to build our reuse agenda in the years to come.
