Clothing poverty affects self-esteem, social participation and economic mobility, while fashion waste contributes significantly to environmental degradation. With the UK fashion industry discarding £140 million worth of clothing to landfill annually, and over 5.5 million people living in clothing poverty, there is a critical need to bridge this gap. We currently focus on supporting some of the most vulnerable communities in the UK, with the ambition to support every adult and child in need of clothing.

Give Your Best are dedicated to tackling clothing poverty and enhancing circularity within the fashion industry.

Clothes can be donated by the public and GYB work with fashion brands and retailers to redirect unsold stock and returns to put these clothes back into circulation, at low prices for the general public and free for those who need them most.

The Give Your Best shop in Cambridge works on a pay-it-forward principle. Every item purchased by the general public funds someone experiencing clothing poverty to shop for free, in the same shop.

Community Mission

✅ Our task will be sorting and pricing donations ready to be put out in the shop.

GYB are looking for donations, and GoodGymers are encouraged to bring donations for the task or to take to the shop at any time if the timing of this time does not work for you. The current donation call out is for autumn and winter wear.

Give Your Best donation policy: things in good condition (no stains and no holes) and no extreme fast fashion brands such as Shein, Bohoo, Pretty Little Thing...we can take in clothes, accessories (bags, jewellery) and shoes.

📌 We'll meet at the Give Your Best shop, which is located near John Lewis on the ground floor of the Grand Arcade.

💛 If it is your first time coming to GoodGym you are very welcome here - our friendly GoodGymers will be waiting to say hi!
