Fashion trade
An exciting partnership between New Zealand Red Cross and Country Road announced on 1 July is already enhancing the quality and amount of pre-loved clothing being sold in 37 Red Cross shops around New Zealand. The main initiative in the partnership is Fashion Trade - a clothing donation programme encouraging people to donate better quality used clothing to Red Cross shops. Since 1 July people have been able to donate any clothing or accessories and include at least one pre-loved Country Road item to a Red Cross shop to receive a $10 voucher to put towards their next purchase of $50 or more at any Country Road store. Find out more about this partnership and locate your nearest Red Cross shop or Country Road store.
