Magpie directly divert clothing and household items from landfill through its re-use activities of selling high quality goods to the public, and working with partner agencies to support those in need through the Magpie gifting service.
Our mission at Magpie is to build a more sustainable and compassionate Aberdeenshire by giving pre-loved clothing, furniture, and other household goods a second life. As a proud social enterprise, we reinvest in our local community because every item reused is a step toward a brighter, more inclusive and sustainable future.
Through our partnership work with a range of other agencies, we ensure that people in need of household goods have access to them, when they need them, through our gifting service.
