Who we are
Give Your Best is an award-winning social enterprise offering the first online platform to donate clothes, where communities living in clothing poverty can shop for free (like a Vinted for donations!). We’re also home to the first pay-it-forward clothing store, where every purchase directly funds free shopping within that same store, a truly inclusive retail experience.
We partner with brands and retailers to reduce clothing waste and enhance circularity within the fashion industry, through impactful redistribution.
Give Your Best: Platform
A first-of-its-kind online platform where you can donate your pre-loved clothes, shoes, accessories, children and baby wear, toys, etc., so they can be shopped for free by people in the UK who are refugees, seeking asylum, victims of trafficking, escaping domestic violence, with no recourse to public funds, or struggling with clothing poverty.
Give Your Best: Shop
The first pay-it-forward clothing shop, the start of a revolutionary way of shopping. In this unique physical shop, every item purchased by the general public funds for someone experiencing clothing poverty to shop for free, in the same shop.
Thrift your favourite pieces at low prices, and Gift access to clothing to those who need it most.
Give Your Best: Impact
Our model provides significant environmental benefits, surpassing other clothing donation models in the UK. According to research by The Guardian, only 10–30% of donated clothing is sold in UK charity shops, while the rest end up in landfill or are sent overseas, predominantly to the Global South. In contrast, we keep all donated items in circulation within the UK. In our shop we have an in-house repair/upcycle programme where anything that is donated that needs mending is repaired so it can be re-distributed or resold.
Fashion has become one of the most polluting industries on the planet. It is more important now than ever to extend the lifespan of your clothing. You can do this by donating your clothes to Give Your Best and shopping pre-loved. Research from WRAP suggests that extending the lifespan of clothes by just 9 months could cut waste by 22% and save 33% of water consumption.
