Redistribute
Wherever an item is safe and suitable, it goes straight to a verified charity partner and on to someone who needs it.
01Turning surplus into support
Give more.
Waste less.
Help more.
We connect brands and retailers with trusted charities, so useful products reach people who need them—not landfill.
How it works
From useful stock to practical support.
- 1
Receive
Brands and retailers give useful returns, surplus and end-of-line stock a trusted onward route.
- 2
Make it ready
Every item is assessed, quality checked and catalogued before it can move forward.
- 3
Match real need
Approved charity partners request what the people and families they support actually need.
Our hierarchy
Every item gets the right route
Direct redistribution always comes first. Safety, dignity and public benefit guide every decision about where an item goes next.
Resell
Where redistribution isn't the right fit, careful resale turns stock into funding that keeps the network running.
02Recover
Items that can be repaired, reworked or broken down for parts keep their usefulness rather than losing it.
03Recycle
Only when nothing else is safe or practical does an item leave the network for responsible recycling.

Our standards
Useful must also mean safe.
Good intentions are not enough. Our standards decide what moves through the network and what doesn't.
Quality controlled
Items are assessed and quality checked against clear criteria before they can be offered to partners.
Partner verified
Charity partners are checked and approved before they can request stock from the network.
Fully traceable
Stock is catalogued and tracked so both givers and receivers can see where items went.
Independently governed
Give Forward is a registered charitable incorporated organisation, run by a board of trustees.
About us
A national giving network, built to last.
Give Forward starts with baby and family essentials—the everyday items that make the biggest difference to households under pressure.
The model is deliberately category-agnostic. As partnerships and capacity grow, the same standards, systems and safeguards can extend across new categories and new communities.
