Our Impact
We believe everyone deserves access to life’s essentials. In 2022, the cost-of-living crisis forced people to make the impossible choice to heat, eat, or keep clean. With resources stretched to the limit, this year, our work was more needed than ever.

savings unlocked into the charity sector
We enable manufacturers and retailers to support communities at scale, with the most needed products. In 2022, we distributed:
a week’s supply for over 13,670 happy babies to feel comfortable and safe
enough to help 38,685 families for a month to feel clean
enabling millions of friendly chats in homes and community centres across the country
with 301,400 bottles of handwash and sanitiser destributed
enough to support 136,660 families for a month
enabling at least 90,730 periods with dignity
We power local charitable organisations. We amplify their insight, deliver new research, to secure the most needed products. The savings we generate enable them to do more for less, when resources are stretched to the limit. Scroll below for how we helped in 2022:
A record 1,429 new charitable partners joined our network.
78% of our network said our products helped the people they support feel valued and cared for.
52% say savings enable them to deliver services and activities to more people.
66% say savings they make allow them to help more people with more products.

It is embarrassing for families to say they cannot afford toilet rolls so offering these out to people without them having to ask allows them a sense of dignity and keeping respect.

“The products from In Kind Direct have allowed a family to keep their clothes and bedding clean. This small change has improved the wellbeing of everyone who took part. Receiving donated products improved the mental health of a family, the parents realised that people actually care, and they’re not alone in the world with their worries. “
