Arcadia Merchandise Ltd recently embarked on a new journey in our bid to be a more sustainable business. One challenge for which we wanted to find a solution, was how to ensure items of merchandise that were not needed ended up finding use and not landfill. With the help of the wonderful non-for-profit charity A Good Thing, Arcadia have now been able to solve this problem. In February we were told that over 5,000 items of high-quality branded products were no longer required by one of our clients. Arcadia Director Simon Dalton made it his mission to ensure that these items found a home and did not go to waste. Enter A Good Thing.Why choose A Good Thing?
Launched in 2021, A Good Thing work to make it easy for businesses to donate unwanted items to local charities. Working closely with founder Cathy, Arcadia were eventually partnered with Crisis UK. The merchandise we donated included adult clothing such as caps, warm puffer jackets, T-shirts, Patagonia fleeces and Nike polo shirts
