Refresh your wardrobe for a good cause

Community news on behalf of Traid | 1 July 2025

This summer, join charity retailer Traid’s Closet Clear-out Challenge to help keep clothes in use for longer. All you need to do is pick - click - collect: pick your clothes, click to donate, and Traid will collect them for free!

If you are looking to clear out your wardrobe this summer, why not take part in Traid’s Closet Clear-out Challenge?

The initiative aims to collect 250,000 garments to support the people who make our clothes, from garment workers to organic cotton farmers.

Over the past 12 months, residents in our borough donated more than 600 tonnes of textiles to TRAID - preventing nearly 3,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions compared to incineration.

You’re encouraged to sort through the clothes, shoes, and accessories you no longer wear, and book a free collection slot online or by calling 020 8733 2595. A TRAID-branded van will collect your donations at the agreed time.

Let’s transform fashion for the better, one wardrobe at a time!⁠
