Put your unwanted clothes to good use.
Drop-off between 6th - 18th September 2025.

Al'hamdu'lillah. Comfort at Home is one of the most popular ways our supporters help those in need. It helps us share our good quality, but unwanted, or unused clothes and shoes with those who really need it.

By re-using and re-distributing the items that we no longer need or use in our own homes, Muslim Futures helps needy families to benefit from your donations-in-kind, maintaining dignity and honour. We don’t believe in landfill, and we DO NOT sell your items on.

We are NOW ACCEPTING DONATIONS of :

1.

Good quality, undamaged, CLEAN, LAUNDERED and FOLDED daily wear clothes for men, women and children, including toddlers. Items must not be excessively worn.

2.

Winter wear, shoes, boots and warm outer garments including coats, hats, gloves, scarves and shawls in good clean condition.

3.

Culturally appropriate stitched clothing for day-to-day use, of Pakistani and Afghani origin are accepted, including burqas, niqabs and shalwar kameez garments, but NOT sarees or any Indian cultural clothing items.

Please READ our Terms below, BEFORE donating.
Insha'Allah, our campaigns can only continue with your help!

Please offer a monetary donation to cover the costs of transport, logistics and onward distribution to the recipients. It costs Muslim Futures £1.50 per kg to send 1kg of donated items. Please do offer what you can afford to help us with these costs. Our voluntary donation request is £2 for each kg of items that you donate.

DEADLINE : 5pm on Thursday 18th September.
