Host a
Clothes Bank

Help us to sustainably recycle, whilst securing vital funds
for our charitable community and education programmes

Help us to Drop & Donate

We invite your organisation to be part of our sustainable, high impact clothes bank initiative that delivers real value to both community and corporate responsibility goals.

Alongside our partners, Fundraise & Recycle, our clothes bank initiative offers organisations the opportunity to host a branded clothing bank, turning pre-loved garments into vital funding for our charitable community and education programmes.

By partnering with us, your organisation demonstrates a commitment to social impact, sustainability, and local recycling, helping us provide essential support to those who need them most. Together, we can create meaningful change, one piece of clothing at a time.

Vertu Ford, Morpeth

The Vertu Ford Morpeth dealership is located not far from the centre of town in a prime location on Coopies Lane, and is easily accessible from Stannington, Bedlington, Choppington for people to drop and donate unwanted clothing.

Fundraise & Recycle

Where fundraising and
innovative textile
recycling meet

Fundraise & Recycle, partner with schools, charities, businesses, and community organisations to provide an innovative fundraising solution through textile recycling and more.

They take care of everything, from supplying and maintaining the clothes banks to managing collections, so we can focus on what matters most: fundraising and maximising our organisation’s impact.

Fundraise & Recycle was started in 2021 by David and Sarah Kristopaite. They wanted to create an innovative way of textile/clothes recycling in our local communities that not only kept clothes out of landfill but enabled the partners they have to create multiple and long-term sources of income for their organisations.
