ABOUT US
One third of new clothing goes from factory to landfill, whilst one in eight adults and one in six children do not have adequate access to essential clothing.
Thread Together addresses this uncomfortable truth by saving new clothing from going to landfill and providing these clothes to people in need.
We believe circumstances and disadvantage should not prevent people from accessing clothing to allow them to realise their full potential.
Recognised as Australia’s highest ethical response to fashion excess, Thread Together diverts brand-new (excess) clothing from landfill and redistributes these clothes to people in need.
