Individual Donations
If you are an individual with some spare high quality clothing or accessories to donate, please do get in touch. Please do contact us before bringing donations to our centre, as we may not be able to accept them but we can recommend other charities who may be able to benefit from the donation.
Retailers
If you are a clothes, accessories, shoe or handbag retailer who would like to donate surplus stock to Smart Works, we would love to hear from you. At Smart Works, we are passionate advocates of the transformative and positive power of fashion and we are quietly proud to play a part in the corporate responsibility approach of many of our partners. Contact us to discuss further!
Corporate Donations
If you work for a large organisation, you might consider running a donation drive for Smart Works. As we receive a large volume of clothing donations, we also suggest other fundraising activities or corporate volunteering days as another way to support our centre and the service that we provide. See our Donate Money page for fundraising ideas or please contact us to discuss further.
