AWB is a not for profit CIC. We build practical projects, events and spaces to bring our diverse community together and provide aid for people experiencing hardship.
cost of giving
As an independent organisation we rely on the support of people like you to help grow our impact.
Please consider making a donation to our Just Giving fundraiser to help pay for rising costs.
Much of our projects are powered by our ethically developed products and events. Keep us in mind online and in store at Swap Shop for a gift that gives back to our community.

Thanks to the amazing support of the public, we have distributed over 200,000 items to our communities in Belfast and beyond.

LOVE PACK
The Love Pack project collects and distributes much needed toiletries ad underwear for local people. So named because we donate items in sprayed up tote bags or ‘Love packs’, which are specially made up based on the needs of the recipients. We distribute these via our Free Store project and local community groups & charities.
FREE STORE
Free Store is a ‘first of it’s kind’ clothing bank. Set up as a full shopping experience, visitors can pick up everything from underwear, right through to a warm coat, and everything in between, all free of charge. Our current Partners are Women’s aid Belfast and Lisburn, Flourish NI, and the charities that make up the LGBT centre.
SWAP SHOP
SWAP SHOP is another unique offering to Belfast City centre, this is our engine and funds our operation. Our gorgeous store offer the best quality, curated RELOVED clothing, all for £10, or £5 if you bring us something to swap. We also sell beautiful branded giftware and merch for your socially conscious purchases of treats and gifts.
