**In the run-up to Valentine’s Day, Clothes Aid is giving people the chance to gain
closure on their failed relationships by clearing out the clothes of their exes.**

The Clothes Aid Ex Collection will pick up and find new homes for these unwanted
items of clothing, and donate the proceeds to a number of UK charities, including
Macmillan Cancer Support, NSPCC, Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK and Scotland’s Charity
Air Ambulance (SCAA).

Research by Clothes Aid shows that calls to its helpline asking for the abandoned
clothing of ex-partners to be taken away had risen 24% year on year.

Clothes Aid business manager Michael Lomotey said:

> “We launched the Ex Collection service due to a huge upsurge in helpline calls
> from couples who had split up, with all sorts of heartbreaking stories. Whilst
> we can’t get any relationships back on track, our Ex Collection service means 
> that the UK’s unloved clothes can live happily ever after, raising money for our
> partner charities.”
