With the impact of the coronavirus measures on community organisations and their vulnerable beneficiaries, we are reaching out to confirm that we continue to operate, partnering with businesses and charities such as yourselves to get goods to where they are needed most.
As we approach the end of the furlough scheme when we will all be supporting the newly vulnerable, we have a wide range of products available including clothing for adults and children, toiletries, baby products, toys, bedding, kitchen equipment and other household items, books, crafts and ambient foods. Goods are for your organisation’s beneficiaries and cannot be sold or used for fundraising. Does this sound useful to your organisation? If so, you can register/request items for free and view available products on our website:
https://products.givingworld.org.uk/register/user
https://products.givingworld.org.uk/product-categories
Please do let us know if there are particular items that would help support your beneficiaries during this difficult time as services resume.
Goods can be collected directly from us, or if this is not possible for you, we can arrange delivery at cost. Delivery costs range from £10 for a box of items to £65 for a full pallet – our website works out a maximum delivery cost based on what you request. We will always endeavour to reduce this when packing your items so that the final charge is as low as possible.
You can find out more here – www.givingworld.org.uk/charity
If you have any questions, any way we can help you deliver more essential supplies to the people who need them most, please call us on 0116 251 6205.
This dedicated support line is open 9.30am-4pm Monday-Thursday and 9.30am-12.30pm Friday.

Announced earlier this year, the Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion investment by the government to create job placements for 16 to 24 year olds.
Businesses are now able to sign up to be part of the landmark scheme, aimed at giving young people a future of opportunity and hope by creating high-quality, government-subsidised jobs across the UK.
Association of Charitable Organisations is raising awareness of grant-giving charities that can provide assistance to people who need support, in anticipation of more redundancies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s Job Retention Scheme ending. The Here to Help Campaign (#HeretoHelpAlways) will be working with key advice and referral agencies, charities and other organisations that work closely with people who may be in need of assistance, along with the media, to raise awareness of the services available from grant-giving charities. Find out more.
