This time next week, children will be returning to school.

School bags will be packed. Uniforms will be laid out. New shoes and stationery will be labelled.

But there are other things children need to feel ready for that first day. A toothbrush. Shampoo. Deodorant. Period products.

When those basics aren’t available at home, the start of school can come with the worry that somebody will notice.

There is still time to help remove that worry.

Choose an essential from our online wishlist and it will be delivered directly to us, ready to reach children through our network of more than 85 UK charity partners.
It takes only a few minutes to buy something most of us use every day.

Knitted with love. 🧶💚

Thank you to everyone at Community Learning Partnership for continuing to think of us. Every year, the wonderful knitters make these beautiful blankets for us. And every year we distribute them as part of our winter appeal, to people facing crisis in the UK and overseas.

We may still be in the middle of summer, but preparations for winter are already under way, so these blankets couldn’t have arrived at a better time!

We absolutely love them and know they will mean so much to the people who receive them.

Less than a week after leaving our offices in Watford, this box arrived in Lviv, Ukraine.

It was one of many packed by volunteers from at our recent World Cup Packathon. From there, it was collected by our charity partners Mighty Convoy, transported across Europe and delivered to Christian Medical Association of Ukraine to people who have been made homeless by the ongoing conflict.

It’s wonderful to see the full journey—from the hands that packed it here in Watford to the people it was intended for in Ukraine.

A huge thank you to Simon for sharing this video, and to all the Mighty Convoy volunteers who continue to make these journeys possible.

And a special thank you to everyone from Sky Studios Elstree who packed this particular box with such care. Now it’s exactly where it needs to be. 💚

Our relationship with James and Practical Tools Initiative began in 2024, when they needed support setting up a new school in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

We supplied uniforms and sportswear for children who had previously been working in hazardous conditions—some as young as five. Having the right clothing meant they could attend school, take part in lessons and sport, and begin to see different possibilities for their future. Being in that classroom offered an alternative to working to help support their families.

Two years on, our partnership has helped support more than 27,500 people across Sierra Leone.

It was wonderful to have James pop in to see us recently and hear more about how our Schools For Good programme continues to transform lives.

Last year, we took a bit of a leap.

We wondered whether we could bring the padel community together to do something that was both competitive and genuinely purposeful.

Michael Vaughan joined us on court, businesses got behind the event, players embraced it and, by the end of the day, we knew we'd created something worth building on. That's why is back.

On Sunday 13 September, we'll return with our partners Live Padel and Aura Capital for another day of competitive padel, this time at one of the UK's newest state-of-the-art indoor venues, Encourt Padel & Wellness Club.

Every player who steps onto the court will also be helping to support our Sport For Good programme, giving more children and young people the opportunity to experience everything that sport can offer.

🎾 We'd love to see you on court this September.

This is the team behind Goods For Good – and we’re looking for someone new to join us.

We’re a small, friendly and committed group, with plenty happening across our charity hub, programmes, partnerships and events. Our new Fundraising Manager will become an important part of that team, bringing fresh ideas, building relationships and helping us make more of the opportunities ahead.

It’s a brand-new role, so there’s real scope for the right person to shape it and make their mark, while working alongside people who care deeply about what they do and genuinely enjoy working together.

If you’re an experienced fundraiser looking for your next opportunity, or know someone who would sound perfect for this role, then we’d love to hear from you.

Find out more about the role and apply via Charityjobs: https://ow.ly/V54r50ZuBhS

There’s a real sense of momentum at Goods For Good right now. We’ve opened the doors to our new charity hub, welcomed hundreds of volunteers for our World Cup Packathon and celebrated our 12th birthday. We’ve also been preparing for our Padel For Good and Quiz For Good events later this year, while getting essential toiletries to our charity partners through our Back to School appeal.

There’s been plenty going on, and lots more to come!

We expected school uniforms to top the list again this year. They didn't.

Instead, our charity partners kept asking us for the same things.

Toothpaste. Deodorant. Shampoo. Period products.

More and more families are struggling to afford the everyday toiletries and hygiene products that help children arrive at school feeling clean, confident and ready to learn.

Through our partnership with Community Game Changers, we've seen first-hand how practical support often extends far beyond school uniforms. For one family living in temporary accommodation, alongside clothing for three children we also supplied washing powder and fabric conditioner so they could keep their uniforms clean and continue attending school.

We've also provided toothbrushes, toothpaste and period products to families who simply couldn't afford them, helping children access the everyday essentials that support confidence, wellbeing and participation throughout the school year.

Over the last 12 months alone, our partnership with Community Game Changers has helped support over 2,600 children, young people and families.

As Andrea from Community Game Changers puts it:

""School kit isn't just the polo shirt and the blazer. It's everything the child needs to get them through the school day.""

That's why this year's Back to School appeal is focusing on toiletries and hygiene products. By listening to the organisations working closest to children and families, we're making sure we're providing the practical essentials they're telling us are needed most.

💚 You can help by donating through our wishlist or organising a collection in your workplace, school or community.
