At Salvos Stores, we're all about encouraging people to shop more sustainably and consciously. There is no better time than the new year to decide on your next sustainable resolution.

To give you some inspiration for your sustainable resolution, the Salvos Stores Customer Experience Team are excited to share our own first...

On Saturday the 26th of November, the day after Black Friday, we will be running 'Secondhand Saturday'. On this day, we are encouraging everyone - regardless of which colour Friday you shopped on - to give the preloved items they no longer need a new life by donating them to Salvos Stores. By making a donation on Secondhand Saturday, you can clear space in your home for any new sale purchases by contributing to the circular economy, not landfill.

This year, Salvos Stores is proud to be participating in ‘Green Friday’ - an online retail event that promotes making more sustainable shopping choices over the Black Friday period.
