Donating surplus to local charities and community groups
Neighbourly connects your surplus products, including food, toiletries, books, and household goods, with over 35,000 small charities, food banks and schools across the UK and Ireland, helping you to make a difference in the community.
Donate much-needed goods where they'll have the greatest impact
One in four children in the UK are living in poverty
Financial hardship affects millions of families in the UK, with around 13.4 million people living in poverty, including 3.9 million children.
Whilst the donation of food and products is not a long-term solution to poverty, we believe that we should be respectful of the world's resources by diverting as much surplus as possible to support the communities where it can make a difference, for free. By donating your surplus, you can change lives whilst supporting a sustainable, circular economy.

Leaders in redistribution
Our team of redistribution experts manages regular and ad-hoc pick-ups for your donations, ensuring all charity schedules and collections are taken care of. Our platform handles thousands of surplus transactions every day, with everything donated supporting local communities. We also work with manufacturers to redistribute surplus pallets from distribution centres.
A huge network of local charities
Neighbourly is home to over 35,000 local charities and community groups, providing full network coverage around the UK & Ireland, from food banks to community centres to breakfast clubs. All our groups are verified and have the necessary standards of food hygiene, getting your surplus direct to the people who need it most.
Measuring the impact of your donations
We offer full traceability of all donated surplus, so you can measure and report with confidence, and meet legislative requirements. Branch-level and aggregated impact reports give you a clear picture of where and how your donations have made a difference to the communities where you operate. ESG Impact dashboards provide you with downloadable data for management reports and help you understand your impact financially, environmentally and in human terms.
