The Big Bag Challenge is back!

We need 100,000 bags in the next fortnight to help older people love later life. Each bag you donate is worth on average £20*

We're calling on the nation to donate their unwanted items to the Big Bag Challenge and help older people to love later life.

Kicking off on 9 October, volunteers in our Age UK shops will be on hand to accept bags of donations. Help us reach our goal of an additional 100,000 bags of goods across the country in just two weeks.

You can support our campaign by donating bags to your nearest Age UK shop. We accept all types of quality goods, including clothing, shoes, books, accessories and homeware (see the full list). You can also pick up extra bags in stores.

Each bag you donate is worth an average of £20 to Age UK*

£10 of that money raised could pay for a weekly friendship call to a lonely older person in the UK.
