Company Overview

White Rose Pre-Loved Fashion was established as a social enterprise in 2009 by two university graduates who were truly inspired by the work of Aegis Trust. White Rose is a charitable organisation with retail locations in Nottingham, Beeston, West Bridgford, Newark, Sheffield, Leeds, Leicester, Manchester and Derby. At White Rose, we raise funds by collecting, sorting, and selling pre-loved clothing through our retail stores and online platforms. All net profits from our sales are donated to the Aegis Trust, a UK registered charity, which works towards the prevention of identity based prejudice, hate and violence in communities affected around the world, through delivering peace education programmes. In addition, we’re driven by a distinct purpose to reduce fast fashion’s impact on the environment, reduce textile waste, and encourage our customers to make more ethical choices when it comes to purchasing and repurposing of clothing.
