THE PROCESS
Wear One, Share One
in Four Steps:
Purchase
Every purchase at OutsideIn activates our Wear One, Share One, meaning with every product purchased you donate essential clothing to someone experiencing homelessness.
Allocate
Once your purchase is complete, our team allocates a donation on your behalf across our trusted network of Giving Partners, based on their individual needs, to ensure maximum impact.
Distribute
Our Giving Partners deliver your donation directly to those who need it most. Each item is thoughtfully designed using charity feedback and provided based on real requests from service user

Our Giving Products Are Always:
High-Quality
Brand-New
Intentionally Designed
Dignity in the Details
We call the essential items you donate following your purchase 'Giving Items'.
Our in-house Fashion Team designs our unique Giving Items following feedback from our network of Giving Partners to ensure that each item meets the greatest clothing needs of those who receive them.
Our Giving Items are always brand-new and manufactured to the same high-quality standards as the OutsideIn products you would buy for yourself. Each Giving Item also comes with a positive message designed to encourage whoever receives it. We consider everything, including the fit, fabric, colour, and seasonal needs when designing these items, ensuring they provide dignity, comfort, and confidence for the person wearing it.
Just like the clothes you buy evolve and improve, we review our Giving Items regularly to ensure that they are always meeting the greatest needs and requests of the people they were created to help.
That's Not All!
We want our Giving Items to be more than just, well, items.
So, we decided to add something we call 'Tags of Hope'!
These aren't just any old tags, but each one has a written encouragement designed to show the people who receive our Giving Items that they matter, we see them and we believe in them.
We know that words are powerful and we intend to use ours for good.
