Get ready to make a real difference in your community by donating your gently used clothing and accessories. This annual event, now in its 8th year, is a fantastic opportunity to support people facing hardship both locally and globally. With the help of Uber, you can even book a free pick-up to make donating easier than ever.
This year’s drive is extra special with a partnership featuring Melanie C - Sporty Spice, adding a fun celebrity touch to the cause. Last year, over 125,000 kg of clothing was collected nationwide, and this year aims to be even bigger and more impactful.
