Provide products to help people thrive
We are proud to have worked with thousands of retailers, manufacturers and wholesalers, to distribute products to UK communities.
From market leading brands and grocers, to category champions and start ups, donating products to us allows companies to reach not one but thousands of charitable organisations. We can accept any quantity, from a parcel, a pallet to entire lorry loads. Get them to our warehouse – and out of yours.
Why donate products to us?
More people than ever are having to make choices between eating, heating, and keeping clean.
Through product donation, companies can help charitable organisations support these people within their community. Donations make an enormous emotional difference, improving confidence, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing.
Importantly, our registration and monitoring process ensures that products distributed cannot re-enter the market, meaning donated products are used for their intended purpose only; to support people that need them.

“Working with In Kind Direct we’ve been able to reach more charities with more of our products so we can make more of an impact. Their insight, expertise and vast network of charities across the UK means we can get our products to where they are needed the most, supporting those who are most vulnerable and affected by hygiene poverty. Reaching local charities at this scale is something we’d not be able to do on our own which is why we’re immensely proud of our long-standing partnership with In–Kind Direct and what we’ve achieved together.”
Chris Barron, Vice President Beauty and Personal Care, Unilever UK & Ireland
“At Essity, everything we do is about breaking barriers to wellbeing. There is no better example of how we do that than through our relationship with In Kind Direct. For 20 years we have worked together to ensure that the communities that are most vulnerable and most in need throughout the UK, have access to the everyday essential products that we make. Access to basic hygiene products means people can live their lives, attend school, go to work, and achieve their potential. It is thanks to In Kind Direct that thousands of charities have been able to benefit from the hygiene products that we’ve donated and we look forward to many more years of working together and breaking barriers to wellbeing.”
Kevin Starr, UK & ROI Country Manager at Essity
Never more so than right now, the need to ensure essential hygiene products are accessible for the most vulnerable in our communities is vital. In Kind Direct provide an incredibly important platform to enable that at scale – without their capability, reaching those who need our products most, when they need them most, would be incredibly difficult. In Kind Direct are a truly collaborative partner making a big impact in the communities we all live in, which is why we’ve partnered with them for almost 25 years.
