Every year, approximately 350,000 tonnes of clothing waste are thrown away in the UK. This harms the environment and contributes to global greenhouse emissions.

You can help by repairing and reusing your old clothes instead of throwing them out. We’ve created five simple DIY tutorials to help you fix clothes that need a quick repair.

With just a few easy steps, you can make your clothes feel brand new—saving money and helping the planet.

Not only will you look great and help tackle clothing waste, but you’ll be fuelling the fight for home.

This autumn, we’re launching a new idea in our Shelter shops: selling preloved ‘Rescue and Repair’ clothes that have slight imperfections but will look amazing with a little TLC (Tender loving care).

Our specially tagged Rescue and Repair clothes all deserve a second life and are available at great prices. Every item will come with a special QR code on its tag linking to mend-along videos on simple repairs that can be done at home, without complicated equipment.

Simply find your nearest Shelter shop and bag yourself some Rescue and Repair bargains.
