Insurance company Aviva, luxury department store Harrods, footwear brand Dune London, clothing apparel company UNIQLO and sport and footwear brand Nike, are amongst those organisations working with Goods For Good donating money, services and overstocked goods.

The COVID-19 pandemic, cost of living and energy crisis and the war in Ukraine has caused many more families to slip into poverty. As a result we have seen our network of charity partners grow by 100% as we work hard to respond to the huge increase in need over the last two years. As the need in the community continues to grow, we have launched our Humanitarian Aid Partnership; an opportunity for corporate organisations, businesses of any size and individuals to collaborate with the charity; either by donating goods, donating funds or fundraising.
