In the charity's own words

Thread Ahead provides brand new items (primarily clothing and toiletries) to people with precarious immigration status. Precarious immigration status is taken to include refugees, asylum-seekers and non-EU migrants lacking indefinite leave to remain in the UK. In doing so, we also increase sustainability in the fashion and toiletries industries, redirecting items which would otherwise go to waste.
