Get Involved with Bindaring – Do Good, Feel Great!
​The Bindaring Clothing Sale is all about community, connection, and making a real difference. It brings like-minded people together, sparks lasting friendships, and raises vital funds for Australian Red Cross — with every dollar staying right here in WA to support local programs that matter.
​
Every bit of help counts, and we’re truly grateful for any time you can share with us.
​
We’re passionate treasure hunters of clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories, collecting generous donations from our community through door-to-door pick-ups and drop-off days. From there, our volunteers carefully sort, refresh, and mend each piece, making sure every item is looking its best and ready for a new home and a second life.

Ways you can lend a hand
Donations
We’re also calling for volunteer drivers and helpers to support pick-ups and donation days — it’s hands-on, social, and makes a real impact.
​
Want to go one step further? Rally your street, school, club, or community group and run your own donation drive. It’s a simple way to bring people together and do some good.
Marketing/Social Media
We’re always hunting for helpers to get the word out — and if you’re a social media whiz, we want you on our team!
Sorting our donations
Sorting,hanging,folding, tagging — this is where the magic happens. We sort donations all year, with an extra push from 4–15 May when we’d love more helping hands. It might not sound glamorous, but it’s surprisingly fun (and a great way to meet people).
Once sorted, we need to prep everything for pricing and the big sale — and you never know what treasures you’ll uncover. Days and times are flexible — give whatever time you can.
Logistics
It takes a lot of work to put this show together and setting up the event requires leaders and helpers, so if you like doing jigsaws, then helping out with the set up is for you.
Cleaning and mending
Spot cleaning & mending team: a quick clean, a stitch here, a button there — and voilà.
​Ready to be loved all over again.
Sale day
What a day — seriously, the best day of the year! Loads of laughs, great vibes, and a real buzz in the air.
​
Jump in to help in the fitting rooms, re-hang clothes, be a cashier, assist the queues at the checkout, or pack up at the end — every hand makes the fun happen!
Help All Year or Just for the Big Day!
We collect and sort donations year-round, so if you’re after a regular volunteer role, we’ve got plenty of opportunities — from behind-the-scenes marketing and event planning to hands-on prep.
​
Sale Day, Saturday 16th May: we need around 200 volunteers to tackle a 4,000 sqm pavilion packed with clothes and a few thousand excited shoppers. From set-up to bump-in and the big day, every hand counts!
