Save money on the goods you need
How can we help?
We distribute new, usable consumer goods, donated by some of the UK’s best known manufacturers and retailers, to charities, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises working in the UK and abroad.
We are a lifeline to thousands of charities helping their communities, allowing them to spend more of their money on support, not supplies.
How it works
1. Join
Register for free. Join our network to access the goods on our catalogue.
2. Order
Place your order. Browse a huge range of high quality, donated goods.
3. Use and share
Use the goods to run your services or give to the people you support and share their reaction with us!
Which products do we offer?
Companies have a lot of products they no longer need, from over-stocked toiletries to last season's fashions to branded cleaning products from an expired campaign to unbranded toys. We distribute these high quality items to charities, social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations. They’re the things you need to run an organisation and items you can give to the communities you support.
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
This centre is run almost entirely on In Kind Direct products. Without the savings we make from In Kind Direct, we would not be able to offer some of the services we do.
Which organisations can join?
Almost any charity, not-for-profit and social enterprise can register for free to receive goods from In Kind Direct. Small, medium or large - we accept organisations of all sizes.
Charities
Schools
Social Enterprises
Community Groups
Not a registered charity? That’s okay – all we ask is that you are a charitable organisation. This includes social enterprises, constituted community groups, local authority funded schools and some public sector run projects.
Do you work overseas? Your organisation needs to be registered in the UK. At registration we will ask to see recent evidence of your projects overseas. We cannot deliver goods to international addresses but we are happy for your organisation to use goods overseas. We will ask to see quarterly export documentation.
Why join?
Save your organisation money
using In Kind Direct last year
With limited funding, most not-for-profit organisations are looking for new ways to save money. In Kind Direct is free to join, and you only pay a small charge for our service providing goods.
Help your service users
We have helped charitable organisations improve the lives of millions of people.
We provide many products that can be used to run an organisation, from toys to cleaning products to clothes. Many of our charitable partners also give products away to the people they support.
