Evri, one of the UK’s largest dedicated parcel delivery companies is proud to support disability equality charity Scope’s donation drive. For the first time, Scope supporters can send donations via Evri’s network at no cost to themselves, or the charity.
From 15th September 2025, Evri will fund the full cost of deliveries for two weeks, making it easier and more convenient than ever for people to contribute to Scope’s vital work. This initiative is part of Evri’s broader commitment to accessibility, following its three-year partnership with Scope announced in October 2024.
This September, Evri and Scope are encouraging people to donate at least one good quality item – whether it’s something unworn, unsold online or a missed return. The organisations hope to generate around 6,000 parcels of postal donations which could raise around £90,000.
Expanding donation access through Evri’s 10,000+ drop-off locations – believed to be the UK’s largest charity drop-off network – will help maintain a steady flow of contributions.
Exclusive charity shop research by Evri and Scope shows there’s an appetite for people to donate to charity shops:
Nearly half, 47% (one in two) [1] of people said they would be more likely to donate if charity shops allowed you to drop off items at a parcel delivery locker.
A quarter of people, 24% (one in four) who donate to charity shops say they donate more now than they did five years ago [1]
Some of the main factors for not donating items include:
The nearest charity shop being too far away 17% (one in six). [1]
16% (one in six) say there are not enough donation points nearby and a further 12% (one in eight) say charity shop opening times don’t suit their hours [1]
Donating is quick and easy:
1. Visit Evri.com/Scope to create your free parcel label
2. Package your item using Evri’s packaging guidance
3. Print a label and drop off the parcel at any of Evri’s 10,000+ ParcelShops or Lockers
Donated items will then be sorted by a team of Evri volunteers and sent on to Scope shops where they’ll be sold to raise funds to continue Scope’s vital work.
Donations help raise funds for Scope to support disabled people and their families. There are 16 million disabled people in the UK and Scope’s free helpline is a lifeline giving guidance, advice and emotional support. With the average call costing £15, every donation helps.
Evri’s partnership with Scope reflects its ambition to become the most accessible parcel delivery company in the UK. Since launching the partnership, Evri has already helped raise £150,000 for Scope and introduced accessibility preferences for consumers – such as requesting more time to get to the door.
