ReLived by Sharewear
Are you an employer working on your ESG? Do you want to enable your employees to take action for people and planet as part of coming to work? Then ReLived is for you. Participants in ReLived will receive a quarterly certificate stating the amount of clothing they enabled their employees to divert from landfill and how many people this clothing went on to support, and will be able to ‘sponsor’ a school or community venue to be part of the scheme
More information on how ReLived works here
Textiles are the biggest landfill polluter in the UK yet, at the same time, the 14 million people in poverty in the UK need access to free-of-charge clothing to function and flourish in life. The Right to Clothing is a basic Human Right denied to millions of people across the UK. We are the space where clothing poverty meets clothing waste, offering the dignity of choice to those who access our clothing at our centres or through our outreach to other poverty alleviation organisations.
DO DONATE:
- General Clothing (all ages)
