Zharity is successful because of all the amazing people involved. From the people we serve to our donors, agencies and volunteers - they are what make us succeed.

Our winter gear collection will run from 28 October - 6 December. 

Winter is around the corner and we need your help to get warm clothes and boots to those most in need.  Much of our work is around the collection of gently loved items and essential necessities for local and international organisations supporting the most vulnerable. We serve over 50 agencies and we have already distributed more than 60,000 items in 2024 so far. As you can see, the need is greater than ever!

So please, check your cabinets and see if there is a coat or sweater to spare.  Together, we can create positive change and provide much-needed comfort to those who need it the most. Your contributions can truly make an impact this winter!

We accept clothes of all sizes and genders.(Please note we can only take cold weather clothing at this time. We cannot store summer clothing). All items must be clean without stains or tears.
