Information:

A note on tax relief
Many organisations are able to claim corporation tax relief when donating stock to registered UK charity. This can make the donation financially beneficial when compared to other methods of clearance and disposal.
Your finance team or accountant will be able to confirm you individual business situation and whether this advantage applies to your business and the requirements around this.

How we can support you through this process

When you first reach out our knowledgeable team can talk you through-

  • The types of stock you have to clear (we accept most varieties of good saleable quality stock!)
  • The frequency you feel you can donate. This can be once or at regular agreed milestones to suit your business needs.
  • Any brand considerations or ways in which we should work
  • How we can tailor our partnership to be unique to your organisation providing more value than just an exit route for goods
  • The practicalities of that first donation

Our team will support you at every step of the process to make this as simple and easy as possible.

What types of stock can be donated?

We do not accept goods from the general public. Newlife operates a unique charity retail model focused on new, returned, and damaged items that are safe and suitable for resale or reuse. These include-

  • Clothing footwear and accessories across mens, womens and childrenswear.
  • Furniture items large and small
  • Electrical and hardware goods
  • Small electricals (subject to PAT testing)
  • Toys including CEE labels
  • Seasonal and promotional items
  • Samples and press tailored goods
  • End of line or clearance goods

If you are unsure please contact us and our team will advise feedback quickly.

What to expect after you make an enquiry

Our team will contact you:

We will contact you via email or phone as an initial fact find to understand more about the stock and your needs.

We will provide guidance on how we can support you and the best way of working for your business.

If you are happy we will arrange the fine details and practicalities around your donation. We will agree timelines that work for your teams whether clearance is needed quickly or stock is to be deposited at intervals.

These conversations can all be completely exploratory, with no commitment or pressure at any stage. We genuinely enjoy sharing the impact of the work we do and the difference it makes, so please feel free to ask, explore ideas, or simply learn more about how stock donation could support your goals.
