Located in some of the most northern regions of England, Cumberland is home to plenty of clothes banks ready to accept your generous donations. You’ll find clothing recycling centres in many towns including Carlisle, Workington, Penrith, Whitehaven, and plenty more.
Almost all of the clothing banks will accept items such as shirts, jackets, pants, shoes, socks, and more. If you’re looking to donate other items such as linen, electronics, homewares, or bags, give them a call beforehand to check.
The Fire Fighters Charity and The Salvation Army are two of the biggest operators of clothing banks in Cumbria. But there are also plenty of independent charities as well if you’d prefer to donate to them. ASDA is also expanding its clothing recycling centres after recent successful trials.
Please remember that before you drop off any of your clothes at the donation locations, that they are in usable condition. Charities spend a lot of time and resources sorting out unusable clothing, which could be far better spent elsewhere.
