A new clothes bank has recently been installed at our Barking Riverside development, offering residents a simple and sustainable way to donate unwanted textiles and clothing.
Located on the Northgate side of the estate, the bank is free to use and provided through a partnership with Traid, a UK charity working to reduce the environmental and social impact of the fashion industry.
This new facility offers a convenient drop-off point for:
- Unwanted clothing
- Shoes
- Textiles
“It’s a small step with a big impact,” says Anthony Hanchard, Estate Manager at Barking Riverside. “By making it easier for residents to donate, we’re helping reduce waste and support a circular economy, all while keeping the estate cleaner and greener.”
Whether you're having a seasonal wardrobe clear-out or just looking to give items a second life, all residents are encouraged to make use of the new clothes bank.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support sustainable living in our communities.
