What is #PackForGood?

#PackForGood is a dedicated campaign aimed at universities, purpose built student accommodation (PBSAs), local councils and private student landlords.

The campaign provides universities with all the resources they need to communicate effectively with staff and students, both on and off campus.

#PackForGood also supports Environmental Social Governance (ESG) goals by encouraging donations of unwanted items throughout the year, with tailored activities, large scale collections and impact reporting.

Why take part in #PackForGood?

  • Give items a new lease of life

    With our free collection service and network of shops and stores across the UK, donating has never been easier.

  • Fund lifesaving research

    Your donated items raise vital funds for our research. If you're able to add Gift Aid, we'll get an extra 25% without costing you a penny.

  • Support your ESG goals

    We reuse over 71,000 tonnes of donations a year and prevent 135,000 tonnes of CO₂ being released into the atmosphere.

#PackForGood supports students and local residents to donate rather than waste their preloved items. This has a significant and positive impact by ensuring there is the opportunity to recycle quickly and conveniently.
