We have prepared an impact report which you can find here; https://apparelxchange.co.uk/pages/our-story Here are some extracts; During 2025, we provided - 855 clothing packages - 79 of which were delivered by Merry-go-round - 9787 garments or pairs of footwear worth £35,786 - partnered with Glasgow City Council and 10 social organisations to reach people - made improvements to our referal system, warehouse layout and signage. During 2025 we ran 63 sessions covering climate impacts from fashion and what we can do about it while being creative: - 113 pupils received workshops in Primary and Secondary schools in Glasgow; - 430 people attended community workshops in our retail space, online and in workplaces. Volunteering 18 individuals and 232 people from 50 corporate partners volunteered with us during 2025. We have hosted 2 social lunches for our volunteers and made improvements to our training process. We increased our time to support volunteers, funded by the Volunteer Support Fund.
We have a variety of stakeholders; local authority, social enterprise and charity partners, customers, beneficiaries and volunteers. We undertake individual feedback which accumulates into annual evaluation which reviews our services to partners and beneficiaries, our volunteering and our customers. We completed an evaluation of the Glasgow City Council Preloved Clothing Service for 2025/26. This included an online survey and 1 focus group with Glasgow City Council. The evaluation was fully completed with a detailed report in May 2026. Findings found that quality and quantity of clothing in packages met expectation, with customer service and communications being highly rated too. We also evaluated our clothing services which are funded via smaller grants with similar results. We requested feedback from our volunteers via informal chats with the Volunteer Coordinator and the volunteer. Most feedback was positive. We also looked at the outcomes for volunteers who had left ApparelXchange, ranging from employment, to focusing on university, to relocation by the Home Office. During 2025, we ran a variety of workshops. We didn’t evaluate these due to capacity and lack of contact details from participants. We are pausing our workshops for 2026/27 as we have moved back to our warehouse location and need to consolidate our activities.
