How we raise funds
Many people often wonder how the relationship works between BAG IT UP and our partner charities, and how the funds are raised, so here it is in a nutshell
We collect and resell your unwanted donations to markets in the UK and overseas, where demand for quality, second-hand items is high.
We provide all the resources needed to run our charities' recycling schemes, such as staff, vehicles, warehousing, recycling banks and all the usual overheads necessary to run a business - the whole infrastructure. This means our partner charities do not have any costs to pay, for any of the schemes.
Once we have sold your donated goods, the funds are calculated for the charities from the gross sale of the product (the charity that you choose to donate, will receive the funds from the sale of your items). An agreed percentage of the sale is allocated immediately to the charity, whilst we cover the operational costs of the recycling schemes. This means that the charities do not have to rely on profit or loss, whilst receiving sustainable funding on a monthly basis.
