Turn Unwanted Clothes into Cash: The Hassle-Free Way to Fundraise for Your Cause

Raising funds for schools, clubs, and community groups can often feel like an uphill battle. Traditional events like raffles or cake sales take time, volunteers, and a lot of organisation.

But what if you could generate regular income without the stress?

That’s where our clothes banks come in. By turning unwanted clothes into a consistent source of income, your organisation can raise funds in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and low effort.

Step-by-Step: How to Set Up a Clothes Bank

Step 1: Partner with a Reliable Provider

Choose an experienced and ethical provider like Fundraise & Recycle. We offer a fully managed service, including the delivery, maintenance, and regular emptying of your clothes bank.

Step 2: Choose the Right Location

Visibility is key. Place your clothes bank somewhere accessible—such as your school grounds, car parks, or community centres—to encourage regular donations from passers-by and supporters.

Step 3: Promote Your Clothes Bank

Let people know where it is and how their donations will help. Use posters, newsletters, local press, and social media to spread the word and get your community involved.

Step 4: Track Your Impact

With Fundraise & Recycle, you’ll receive regular updates on how much clothing has been collected and the funds raised. It’s a great way to keep your community engaged and show the difference they’re making.
