Second Hand September Is Back!

Throwaway fashion is putting increasing pressure on our planet and its people – it’s unsustainable. Every week 13 million items of clothing end up in a UK landfill. Did you know it would take 13 years for one person to drink the water needed to make one cotton t-shirt and a pair of jeans? Choosing to shop second-hand can help.

That's why Oxfam's Second Hand September challenge is back! By pledging to shop only second-hand for 30 days or more you’ll give clothes a longer life!

It's not just conscious consumers getting involved either. Top retailers like Selfridges and eBay are supporting Oxfam's Second Hand September. There are retailers here on Give as you Live Online selling preloved items, meaning you can stay stylish AND raise free donations for charity whilst taking the #SecondHandSeptember pledge.
