THE ANNUAL SOCK AMNESTY
Sort. Send. Spread some warmth. Donate your unwanted socks and we’ll upcycle them for those in need.
HELP US SPREAD SOME WARMTH
MAKE SPACE AND A DIFFERENCE
It has always been our belief that the little things – like socks – have the power to make a big difference. It was this conviction that led us to launch our Sock Amnesty a few years ago.
The Sock Amnesty is a chance for you to have a bit of a cathartic sock drawer clear out while also making a positive impact. Gifted pairs that aren’t really your style? Well-loved socks that have lost their lustre? We want them all as we think it’s time they achieved a higher purpose and help spread some warmth to those in need through our charity partners.
This year we are partnering with The Reclaimery again to upcycle and transform your unwanted pairs into colourful fingerless gloves and neckwarmers. These will be given to the award-winning social enterprise Give Your Best UK, who work with communities living in clothing poverty and enable them to shop for free with the dignity and agency they deserve.
So read on to learn how you can clear out your socks drawers, and make space and a difference. Plus enjoy £10 off new socks to fill the newly created gaps with the code AMNESTY24.
*For now, our Amnesty is only open to UK residents but we hope to expand it one day. We'd love to hear from you is you would like to see our Sock Amnesty rolled out near you.

Repurposed and reclaimed
THE RECLAIMERY
After we receive your socks, we will pass them onto our partner for Sock Amnesty 2023 – The Reclaimery. This fantastic organisation repurposes garments into unique, limited edition collections with higher quality or value than the original.
Their mission is to reclaim the fashion industry and support our planet through a socially conscious system that creates job opportunities for London’s vulnerable communities. By extending the life of the garments, adding value and saving them from landfill, they are creating a truly circular economy. The Reclaimery founder Juliet Herrera, shared her story with us in our LSC Heroes feature, which you can also read here.
Once the socks are received, a team of ‘Reclaimers’ will transform all the donated socks into functional, warm fingerless gloves and neck warmers to be donated to those in need via our wonderful charity partners.
