"Truly unique and everyone wins"
That’s what people say about Newlife.
Why?
As a company we don’t exist for the benefit of shareholders or owners. Our limited company exists to make a profit to pass to our nominated charity, Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children - helping disabled UK children and their families.
How?
By offering unique services to major retailers, manufacturers and other organisations. Registered with the Dept of Environment, we take companies excess goods/product and other items, to help them manage their environment responsibilities, save costs, improve quality and beat fraud.
Through the services we offer everyone wins
The environment wins because:
- Newlife and the companies, who use our services, have a major impact on reducing waste and environmental damage, so the UK environment wins
- Future generations win, as we act to re-use precious raw materials
- The energy used to manufacture goods is honoured as goods previously disposed of as waste get the chance of a longer life
- Quality of products is improved as companies use the data we supply, thereby reducing waste long-term
Companies win because:
- They can significantly reduce handling, landfill, disposal and transport costs and save on resources - most of our services are free
- We manage their excess goods and waste in an environmentally sound manner
- We help them defeat fraudulent reclaims associated with the disposal of these un-required goods
- There can be tax benefits to donating these goods to a UK charity
- We can feed back to them quality control data, this helps them understand their product returns, which in turn helps them improve customer satisfaction and reduce shrinkage/losses and waste
Schools, colleges and universities win:
- Through our Newlife Art scheme, recycled raw materials are supplied free or at low cost for creative studies/art project and sensory development
- Also through this scheme, fashion graduates have up-cycled raw materials into new designs and presented them to the fashion world
Supporters of Newlife Foundation win:
- Through their annual support they can become a member of the Newlife retail operation in Staffordshire. Helping them save money and encouraging them to on buying recycled products.
- Through the Newlife Swap Shop, supporters can recycle their own personal textiles and gain discounts as a result, encouraging even more people to recycle their un-required goods
The UK and local economy is supported:
- Newlife brings jobs to an area of high unemployment
- As recycled product is ploughed back into the marketplace stimulating a growth in reuse activity/companies
- Our employment strategy includes being positive about 'Disability' and diversity emphasis, so people are drawn from being benefit dependent and we welcome all applicants
Best of all...
Disabled children and their families win, because as a result of the profits from Newlife Trading Ltd, Newlife Foundation charity can:
- Buy vital equipment to relieve pain, overcome disability, keep children safe, allow them to communicate and improve the quality of life for terminally ill children
- Fund Nurses to provide support to families and their children
- Fund medical research to prevent and treat conditions that disable and cause childhood death
- Create awareness so disabled children and their families get a fairer deal
