OUR VISION
A world with zero waste where everyone has what they need to thrive.
OUR MISSION
To rehome preloved items to reduce waste and help children around the world, in partnership with Gulf for Good.
OUR PROJECTS
We support www.gulf4good.org, who help children around the world through health, education and housing. Our initiative is approved by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department, license number 4686.
Zero Waste
We are committed to zero waste: we rehome everything (including repairing/recycling items), we offset our carbon emissions through TreeNation, and we use sustainable packaging. When we need to purchase something, we buy it second hand.
Community
We want to encourage and grow the second hand market and can only do this by working together. When possible, we sell in bulk and through our partners. When needed, we donate items.
What is more, Thrift for Good is powered by a large group of volunteer supporters. It's only thanks to you that we can succeed - please clear out your used items, shop sustainable fashion, and volunteer to help us sort and sell.
Joy
What better feeling is there than finding that perfect cheap thrift find? Perhaps a peace-inspiring decluttered house? Or, better yet, knowing you've made a difference in the lives of others? This value of joy is more than a customer satisfaction guarantee; we want to touch lives - yours and the lives of the children we will support.

FOUNDING STORY
With her Masters in Nonprofit Leadership and Philanthropy and over 18 years of experience working with charitable organisations, Jen is passionate about raising funds for children's projects. Her most recent role was as the Operations Manager with Gulf for Good, who raise funds for children's charity projects around the world through adventure challenges.
During this time, Jen learned that the biggest barrier for great projects is funding. Yet, there are so many wonderful supportive people interested in giving their used items to a good cause...
With other Gulf for Good supporters,Thrift for Good began in February 2020, online in April 2020 and we opened our first store in November 2020.
Thrift for Good is a social enterprise born from the vision of a sustainable world where everyone has what they need to thrive. It exists to fuel meaningful projects by reselling donated items and help projects and people in need through donating on the items when requested.
What we do is only made possible by you. Please clear out your used items, shop our feel good fashion, and volunteer to make it happen.
