Your donation

It's really important that the items we pass on to people are in excellent condition and that they feel good about receiving them. Please check everything thoroughly before giving to us, making sure it is clean, stain-free, fully functioning and looking good. Thank you!

What to do with the things we don’t take

Camberwell Salvation Army or Little Village in Wandsworth do take many of the items which we’re not able to (cots, prams, travel cots, etc). Check the links or contact them for up to date info.

You can recycle any unwanted/old/stained (but clean) clothes by giving them to participating H&M and M&S stores for textile recycling, or take them to your nearest textile recycling bank (check your council website).

Pass things which are still in good condition to your friends, neighbours, local charity shop. You can also use freecycle and freegle to give things away in your area.

What we do with the donations we receive

The clothes and other items we receive are made available free of charge to any families in financial need. We have also recently started a trial scheme offering anyone, regardless of circumstances, the opportunity to borrow clothing which we have surplus of for a cash donation. In this way we can promote clothing re-use and reduce waste across the whole community.

The Small Project reserves the right to give away, sell or dispose of any donated items which are unsuitable for our use.
