The average UK adult has 118 items of clothing in their wardrobes of which 26% (31 items) were unworn for at least a year (WRAP 2022).
ALICAS was born to divert surplus garments away from landfill, shredding or incineration and into the hands of people in clothing crisis.
Hands up if you have new and unused clothing sitting in the back of your wardrobe. Don’t worry, there’s no judgement here.
Truth be told, the UK’s wardrobes hold 1.6 billion items of unworn clothes (WRAP 2022).
From Surplus to Support
Donate New, Everyday Clothing
We gratefully accept clothing donations from members of the public. All we ask is that the garments are:
- New and unused
- In perfect condition (i.e. no marks)
- Highly wearable for everyday (i.e. no occasionwear)
By partnering with ALICAS, you can help us close the circular fashion loop and make a real difference to people’s lives.
