Why passing on children's clothes matters
Children outgrow clothes long before they wear out. Passing them on gives each garment more use and helps other families.

More use from each garment
Clothes that are worn by more children get more use from the resources already used to make them.
Help for other families
Good used clothes can make everyday life easier and cheaper for other families, whether you sell, gift or donate.
Small habits make a difference
Caring for clothes, mending early and choosing the next route thoughtfully all help keep clothes in use for longer.
