Donate clothes to charity

Our high street charity shops are a great place to donate clean clothes and accessories in good condition. We can sell clothes donations and other donated items in our shops or online to generate money to help fight poverty.

If you can't easily travel to your nearest Oxfam shop, you can donate your clothes by using our donation bags to donate clothes by post for free.

• Reuse one of your own bags and print off a postage label, or order a recycled donation bag online.
• Pack up your clothes.
• Add your Gift Aid number.
• Drop them off at your local DPD drop off point.

You can include any of the items that Oxfam accepts with your donation.

Clothing donated to us by post will be sold mostly on Oxfam's Online Shop or at pop-up shops at festivals.

You can also donate clothes and accessories to charity via one of our clothing banks. Find an Oxfam clothing bank near you.

We aren't able to accept identifiable work uniforms, as these can't be resold.

We ask that you wash clothes, unless they're brand new.

Oxfam bookshops can't accept donations of clothing and accessories.

If your only local Oxfam shop is a bookshop, consider donating your clothing by post or find your nearest standard Oxfam shop.

Oxfam has eight shops with bridal departments stocked with good quality fashionable bridal wear and accessories, new and pre-loved.

Find your nearest bridal shop to donate your pre-loved bridal and occasion wear.

Together with our partners and our dedicated team in Batley, we carefully sort clothing to unlock maximum revenue from textiles that can’t be resold in our high street shops, while minimising landfill waste.

Every item has potential to fuel our fight against poverty – whether it’s listed on Oxfam’s Online Shop, at our vibrant Festival Shops, or passed on to fashion designers who reimagine garments and give fabrics new life.

Our external recycling partners collect clothes from most Oxfam shops across the country. They sort the clothing before selling it, helping to ensure that all items are of saleable quality and are categorised to make sure they are appropriate in local markets.

Even damaged or low-grade pieces find purpose, heading to recycling traders to become car soundproofing, mattress filling, and more.

Cleared out your pre-loved clothes? If you’re looking for something new, we have a huge range of clothes and accessories for sale in our shops, and online.

Buying clothes second hand is a great, sustainable way to shop that has less impact on the environment while encouraging you to be mindful about the the clothes you wear. Discover more about sustainable shopping, including our top tips, by visiting our blog

Our charity shops and online shop are of full of unique second hand items that you won’t find on the high street. And by choosing second hand, you’ll be saving money too!

Donating your unwanted clothes to charity gives them a new life.

That jumper or suit sitting unworn in your wardrobe could be exactly what someone else is looking for. And they could be buying it instead of something new, helping to reduce landfill and make fashion more sustainable.

Plus, when you choose to donate your pre-loved clothes to Oxfam, you’re doubling the impact. Every item sold supports our work tackling climate change, responding to emergencies, and challenging inequality.
