What is a Clothing Collection and Bric-A-Brac Champion?

RN0688 25 RNCC Campaign CC Champions

A Clothing Collection Champion is a community hero who gathers donations of quality second-hand clothes, shoes, accessories, and bric-a-brac on behalf of Red Nose.

Whether you’re in Melbourne, Sydney, or Adelaide, you can rally your friends, family, neighbours, and local groups to give their pre-loved items a second life.

You book a free collection, gather items from your network, and we handle the pick-up. It’s simple, impactful, and filled with feel-good vibes.

Why become a Champion?

When you become a hub for clothing donations in your suburb or neighbourhood, you help Red Nose:

  • Support families through pregnancy and infant loss
  • Fund vital research to save little lives
  • Reduce landfill and promote sustainable fashion
  • Save on collection costs by consolidating donations into one pick-up location

Anyone with spare bags and a big heart. Whether you’re in inner-city Melbourne, Geelong, selected suburbs of Sydney, or Adelaide, you can:

– Organise a local drop-off point

  “I became the local drop-off point!”“I started by booking a pick-up for my boys’ outgrown clothes. Then my neighbour added a bag. Now, I collect from half the street! It’s an easy way to support Red Nose and unite our community.”
