Welcome to Byronswell

Helping children smile!

Established in 2008, Byronswell Ltd is a textile recycling company based in Southampton, Hampshire. Our mission is to work with children and young people’s charities and to date we have helped grant wishes for hundreds, if not thousands, of seriously ill children.

Our first charity partner was Dreams Come True, for which we raised a grand total of £213687.37 since 2008. Our next charity partner was Round Table Children’s Wish, which received from us around £40000 over the course of our partnership.

As of November 2017, our new fundraising partner is Samuel’s Charity. We will begin distributing charity bags across the country in 2018. We are very excited to start raising funds for Samuel’s Charity and hope to make a significant contribution to their fantastic work and national profile. For more information about our partnership please visit our Charity Partnership page.

If you are visiting our website for the first time you are almost certainly seeking reassurance.

Making a donation?

You may be about to make a donation via a bag collection or a textile bank of unwanted clothes, shoes or other household items, to support our charity partner Samuel’s Charity. If so, thank you for your kindness and please donate with confidence. For more information about where your donation goes and how you’re helping raise money for a very special charity, take a look at our Charity Partnership page.

Cash for clothes?

You may be interested in offering Byronswell clothes for cash. Please go to our contact page to get in touch for more information.

Local Authority?

You may work for a local authority and want to make sure that Byronswell is a reputablecompany which complies with current legislation concerning collections and recycling. Please see our contact page to get in touch and we’d be happy to help with any queries or concerns.

Still need reassurance?

We understand why everyone needs to be reassured – the textiles recycling industry all too often gets a bad press due to the activities of a tiny minority of bogus operators. The reality is that UK charities happily receive millions of pounds every year from recycling companies.

We have developed a Recycling Code of Best Practice to ensure that we are offering a fair and ethical approach to fundraising from recycling. For more information, please see our Charity Partnership page.
