About us
We aim to bridge the gap between those who have surplus and those who need it, fostering a culture of generosity and sustainability. By making it easy to donate and claim items, we ensure that nothing goes to waste and everything finds a purpose.
Our story
Project Unicorn began with a simple but powerful belief: no good thing should ever go to waste.
It all started with one act of giving — a spare item, instead of gathering dust, found a new purpose in the hands of a charity that truly needed it. That spark lit a movement. What if every unused product, every overlooked service, could find a second life? What if generosity was made easy, and waste was turned into hope?
From that moment, Project Unicorn grew into something much bigger. Today, it’s a thriving platform where businesses, charities, and individuals come together to share resources, reduce waste, and create real, lasting impact.
Since launching, Project Unicorn has:
- Helped countless charities gain access to the vital resources they need to thrive.
- Rehomed surplus goods that might otherwise have been lost to landfill.
- Built a vibrant, growing community of donors and recipients who believe that giving isn’t just an action – it’s a way of life.
And this is only the beginning. With every gift shared, every resource rehomed, and every connection made, Project Unicorn proves that small acts of kindness can create extraordinary change.
What People Are Saying
"Thanks to Project Unicorn, we received essential equipment that we simply couldn't afford otherwise. It's made a huge difference to the families we support every day. The process was straightforward, and the generosity we’ve experienced has been overwhelming."
Sarah, Community Outreach Manager, Hope Haven Charity
"Becoming a Unicorn was one of the easiest ways we've ever given back. We had surplus stock taking up space, and within days it had found a new home where it was genuinely needed. It’s a brilliant feeling to know you're making a difference with what you already have."
James, Managing Director, GreenTech Solutions

How does Project Unicorn work?
Project Unicorn connects individuals and businesses who have surplus products or services with charities that need them. Once you register and choose a membership plan, you can start listing your gifts (if you’re a donor) or browsing and requesting items (if you’re a charity). We make giving and receiving simple, fast, and rewarding for everyone involved.
Is there a cost to join Project Unicorn?
Charities can register and access listings for free. For donors (our Unicorns), we offer a range of affordable membership plans designed to suit different needs — whether you’re donating occasionally or on a regular basis. Our goal is to make giving as accessible as possible.
What kind of items or services can be donated?
Almost anything that could benefit a charity can be donated — from office equipment and furniture to professional services, event spaces, marketing support, and more. If it’s in good condition and could make a difference, it’s welcome at Project Unicorn!
How do you make sure donations go to the right charities?
Every charity that joins Project Unicorn is verified by our team to ensure they are a legitimate organisation doing real, meaningful work. We also encourage direct communication between donors and charities, so you can feel confident that your gift is making the right impact.
What if I don't have anything to donate right now?
That’s absolutely fine! You can still register as a Unicorn, stay connected, and list items whenever you’re ready. Many of our members dip in and out depending on what they have available — every donation, big or small, makes a difference.
