For more than 30 years, we have given brand-new high street items a second chance in an environmentally sustainable way. Our retail stores sell donated stock from our brand partners, which raises vital funds for our charity. Alongside retail, our charity operations consist of fundraising, volunteering, child & family support, and campaigning for a better future for disabled children.

Sustainability: There is no planet B, which is why sustainability is a priority for us all at Newlife. Our retails stores prevent thousands of tonnes of brand-new clothing and homeware items from going to landfill by selling excess stock donated by major high street retailers and manufacturers. And since all profits go towards funding essential equipment for disabled and terminally ill children across the UK, we’re making a difference on many levels.
At Newlife, we are passionate about helping our people to be the best they can be, developing their knowledge and skills ready for their next step within our organisation and in their careers.
Induction: From Day One, our colleagues are prepared for their Newlife journey through a thorough and comprehensive induction programme.
