Act now to prevent

extreme poverty

We protect people from poverty by receiving surplus products from businesses and redistributing them to those who need them most.

14.5m people in the UK are locked in poverty, struggling to afford food, clothing and shelter. Right now 3 in every 10 children are living in poverty. Children all around us are going to school hungry, being bullied for wearing old uniforms, or living in unsuitable housing.

Action can be taken, however. Over £2bn surplus products are generated in the UK every year, including essential items like nappies, bedding and warm clothing. We receive donated surplus like this and give it to those who need it to survive.
