Jeff Banks cleared out his own warehouse for the launch, donating over 1,000 garments from his many design collections.
The NSPCC aims to collect more than five million bags of second hand clothing by 2012 in partnership with social business Clothes Aid.
Jeff Banks said: “I think clothes are there to be worn, not be hidden away in your wardrobe! So I want everyone to join the NSPCC’s Great British Clothes Clearout to help prevent cruelty to children.
Donators should look out for NSPCC branded bags posted in their letterboxes with a printed Clothes Aid collection date.
NSPCC head of corporate partnerships Tracy Griffin said: “Join in the NSPCC Great British Clothes Clearout and start the new decade with only the clothes you love to wear in your wardrobe!”
The NSPCC relies on the generosity of the general public for more than 85 percent of the funds it needs to raise each year. All the money raised through the Clothes Aid partnership will go towards the NSPCC’s vital work in helping to end cruelty to children.
