Clothes Aid's tremendous fundraising success

Since July 2009, the NSPCC has been working in partnership with Clothes Aid which runs the NSPCC’s national door-to-door clothing collection initiative. Since then, householders across the UK have donated over 22,000 tonnes of secondhand clothing helping raise a staggering £2 million for the NSPCC. Alongside the door-to-door collections, Clothes Aid also offers the ‘Charity Champions’ service whereby individuals, companies, schools and community groups can organise regular collections of good quality clothes, shoes and accessories from a specific address. 

NSPCC director of fundraising, Paul Amadi, said: "Clothes Aid has put in a phenomenal effort to raise over £2 million in such a short space of time. Despite the economic uncertainty of the last two years, Clothes Aid has greatly exceeded the fundraising targets set for the partnership. We are extremely grateful to Clothes Aid and to the general public for helping raise such an exceptional amount for children.”

Michael Lomotey, Business Manager, Clothes Aid, said: “It has been a fantastic partnership working with the NSPCC over the last two years. We are so glad to have been able to break the £2m mark for fundraising and we are looking forward to continuing the strength of the relationship with the public, the NSPCC and Clothes Aid into 2012.”
