ReWear UK started in 2019 with three volunteers, a van and a church hall in Manchester. We now run weekly collections across the North West and work with refuges, food banks and job centres to get clothing to people the moment they need it.
Around 300,000 tonnes of clothing are thrown away in the UK every year, while thousands of families cannot afford a winter coat. Both problems have the same answer: keep wearable clothes moving.
Everything we do is run by volunteers and funded by our shops, so the clothing we collect goes straight back into use rather than into landfill.
Everything we hand on is clean, mended and something we would happily wear ourselves.
Over 120 volunteers sort, repair and drive. No one at ReWear UK is paid a bonus.
What cannot be worn again is repaired, reused as fabric, or recycled. Landfill is the last resort.
We always need wearable clothes to reuse, volunteers for the sorting hub, and drivers for collection rounds.
