We accept clean and useable outdoor kit from any outdoor clothing brand that does not require any repairs. This includes items of clothing such as waterproofs, warm jackets, fleeces, walking trousers, t-shirts, shirts, winter accessories and children’s outdoor kit. We also accept useable backpacks, walking boots, and wellies. Please check and empty your pockets before dropping off any donations.

When our Gift Your Gear initiative starts again this Autumn, you will be able to donate at any Rohan store. Find your nearest store here.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept donations of outdoor equipment e.g. gear used for camping, climbing, snow sports, or water sports etc. We also cannot accept any underwear, or clothing that is unclean or in need of repairs.

Donations are sorted through in our warehouse and sent over to our beneficiaries. Our beneficiaries will then distribute the kit to their participants and staff as they see fit. These donations help them to continue offering their services and running outdoor activities while properly kitted out.

When filling in the beneficiary donations request form, the quantity reflects the number of boxes you wish to receive for each category of clothing. Each box is filled with as much kit as we can fit inside. The number of garments in each box will vary depending on the bulk of the kit. E.g. we can fit more legwear or base layers in a box, than we can jackets, footwear, and bags.
