Each year in the UK businesses send tens of millions of pounds of surplus goods to landfill.
Everyday hundreds of thousands of of UK charities and community groups struggle to deliver valuable services on limited budgets to individuals, families and communities and positively touch the lives of millions.
Why waste quality goods that could benefit so many?
Giving World Online is a free website to help businesses redirect surplus goods onto community projects and charities, providing much needed resources to help them make a real difference to those they support.
We help busy businesses and organisations that do not have the time or resources to search for charities that could benefit from their surplus goods.
Giving World Online is the only service of its kind provided free of charge to both businesses and the recipient charities and community groups.
Our service is totally free because many charities and community groups delivering valuable and vital projects have no disposable income to pay even a nominal charge for goods, so there are many that miss out.
GWO is the only UK wide scheme that provides an online platform that allows the business and beneficiary to arrange the logistics directly, ensuring the goods are not transported to a holding warehouse only to have to be transported out again
Our work reaches charities and community groups working with social disadvantage and poverty. These include the homeless and vulnerably housed, women and children fleeing domestic violence, asylum seekers and refugees, community centres in particularly deprived areas and charities supporting children and adults with disabilities.
Many such projects have very little surplus funding to purchase resources for their users.
