                                                          When should we order kit for a spring event?
                                                          Aim to send your brief about five weeks before you need the kit, and earlier for big events or busy months. The charity year gives an order-by date for each moment.
                                                          Do awareness days fall on the same date every year?
                                                          Some do, such as World Mental Health Day on 10 October and Volunteers’ Week from 1 to 7 June. Others move from year to year, such as appeals tied to a weekday or a broadcast, so check each organiser’s calendar before you plan.

                                                          Buyer’s guide

                                                          Spend supporters’ money wisely, and make every item count.

                                                          Charity budgets come from donations, so every item has to earn its place. Here’s what UK fundraising and volunteering teams check before they order, plus a brief builder that turns your answers into a request we can quote.

                                                          What to check before you order

                                                          01Keep the cost per supporter low
                                                          Work out the cost per person, not just the total. Each item has a sensible price point for its job, and one design across a larger run usually lowers the unit cost. Tell us your budget per person and we’ll suggest options that fit.
                                                          02Make volunteers easy to find
                                                          Bright colours, a big back print and a clear role on a lanyard help the public find a volunteer in a crowd. For roadside or after-dark collecting, hi-vis vests add visibility. Many charities add their registered charity number and web address; check your own policy.
                                                          03Follow your brand and the fundraising rules
                                                          Use your brand colours and approved logo files. If merchandise is part of a fundraising ask, keep the message in line with the Code of Fundraising Practice (the Fundraising Regulator, for England, Wales and Northern Ireland) or the Scottish Fundraising Adjudication Panel’s guidance in Scotland.
                                                          04Order sizes and quantities from sign-ups
                                                          Order T-shirts from your sign-up sizes, plus a small spare in the most common sizes for late entries. For medals, count expected finishers and add a margin for the day. The kit builder does the maths.
                                                          05Choose kit that’s used after the event
                                                          Kit that gets worn again keeps your message out there. Choose comfortable fabrics, a design people are proud of and useful items such as bottles, tote bags and hoodies.
                                                          06Plan Welsh, Gaelic or bilingual kit
                                                          Many charities in Wales and Scotland work bilingually. We can set Welsh, Gaelic or bilingual wording on your kit and you’ll check it on the free proof, so supporters see their own language on the day.

                                                          Words you’ll hear

                                                          CIC
                                                          Community interest company: a limited company that uses its profits and assets for the public good. CICs are regulated by the CIC Regulator, not the Charity Commission.
                                                          Registered charity number
                                                          The number a charity receives when it registers with its regulator. Many charities show it on fundraising materials next to their name.
                                                          Gift Aid
                                                          A UK scheme that lets charities claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 a UK taxpayer donates. It applies to donations, not to buying goods.
                                                          Mass-participation event
                                                          A fundraising event open to the public, such as a fun run, a sponsored walk or a swim, where hundreds or thousands take part.
                                                          Challenge event
                                                          A tougher fundraising event, such as a marathon, a trek or a long bike ride, where each participant raises sponsorship.
                                                          Trading subsidiary
                                                          A company owned by a charity that runs its shops or sells goods and gives its profits to the charity.
                                                          Awareness week
                                                          A day, week or month set aside to raise awareness of a cause, often with a campaign colour and a call to action.
                                                          Fundraising Regulator
                                                          The independent regulator of charitable fundraising in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, which sets the Code of Fundraising Practice.

                                                          Quick answers

                                                          Does Gift Aid apply to charity merchandise?
                                                          No. Gift Aid applies to donations from UK taxpayers, not to buying goods, so a T-shirt or a mug bought from your shop doesn’t qualify. A separate donation from the same supporter can.
                                                          Can charity merchandise be bilingual?
                                                          Yes. We can set English and Welsh, English and Gaelic, or all three on your kit, and you’ll check the wording on the free proof. If you already have approved translations, send them and we’ll use them.

                                                          Ask us anything

                                                          Your questions, answered straight.

                                                          What UK charities and community groups usually ask us, answered by the people who run the orders. Search, or tap a question and we’ll answer it.

                                                          Hiya! Ask us anything about charity and fundraising merchandise. Here’s what UK charities usually ask.

                                                          Do you have prices for charities?
                                                          Every quote is priced for the quantity and the method, and we’ll always suggest ways to keep the cost per supporter down, such as one design across the run, fewer print colours or a simpler item. Tell us your budget and we’ll work to it.
                                                          Can you print our registered charity number and web address?
                                                          Yes. We can add your registered charity number, web address, a QR code or a short message alongside the logo, and you’ll check every line on the free proof before anything is made.
                                                          Can you deliver to an event start line or to our charity shops?
                                                          Often, yes. We can deliver to your office, a venue or several shops across the UK. Venues often accept deliveries only at set times, so send us their rules and we’ll aim to arrive a day or two before the event, not on the morning.
                                                          Can we sell your items in our charity shop?
                                                          Yes. Many charities sell branded items in their shops and online. Remember that buying merchandise isn’t a donation, so it doesn’t qualify for Gift Aid. We can supply shop-ready quantities to one shop or several.
                                                          Is there a minimum order?
                                                          There’s no fixed minimum: we quote small runs too. Each branding method has a practical minimum, because a set-up costs the same whether it’s spread over ten items or a thousand, so very small runs cost more per item. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest the method that makes them work.
                                                          Can we see a mock-up or a sample first?
                                                          Yes. A digital mock-up of your logo on each product comes free with your quote. For bigger orders we can arrange samples: a blank product to check the size and feel, or a branded pre-production sample once the artwork is agreed. Some samples are free and some carry a cost, which we tell you up front. Nothing is made until you approve the final proof in writing.
                                                          How long does it take?
                                                          Plan on around 7 to 14 working days of production once your proof is approved and payment has cleared, or your purchase order is in place. Delivery comes on top: around 3 to 5 working days from UK-based suppliers to mainland Great Britain and 5 to 8 from European suppliers, customs included, with a little longer for Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands. Every date is an estimate until we confirm it in writing.
                                                          How much does it cost, and how do we pay?
                                                          Every order is quoted individually: the price depends on the product, the branding method, the number of colours or positions, the quantity and the delivery. Quotes are in pounds, ex VAT, with VAT at 20% added as one line, and any set-up is shown openly. Your contract and invoice are with Swish and Click Ltd, registered in Northern Ireland (NI737465), VAT number GB 530 7553 02. Pay a pro forma invoice by bank transfer, or buy on a purchase order with a 30-day credit account.
                                                          Do you deliver to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?
                                                          Yes. We deliver across the UK, to mainland Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands, with a little longer for Northern Ireland and the islands. One order can be split across several sites, such as a head office in Cardiff and depots in Glasgow and Belfast.
                                                          Can you add Welsh, Gaelic or bilingual wording?
                                                          Yes. Welsh, Gaelic and bilingual wording is set exactly as you supply it, accents included, and you’ll check every character on the proof before anything is made. For a different name or message on each item, send a spreadsheet and we’ll suggest the method that handles it.

                                                          Still have a question?

                                                              Frequently asked questions

                                                              Do you have products for my sector?

                                                              Yes: we group products for twelve sectors, from charities and universities to healthcare, construction and logistics. If your sector is not listed, tell us what your teams do and we suggest a kit.

                                                              Can you work with our purchase order and procurement process?

                                                              Yes. Quotes show clear unit prices, and approved organisations can buy on a 30-day credit account with a purchase order.

                                                              Can you deliver to several sites at once?

                                                              Yes. One order can go to many UK addresses, each with its own recipient, phone number and date, from head office to depots, wards or campuses.

                                                              Can you match our uniform colours across products?

                                                              We match colours as closely as each product and branding method allows, using your Pantone references, and the proof shows the result before production.

                                                              What is Swish & Click?

                                                              We supply branded merchandise and promotional products to UK organisations. We source each order from UK-based and European suppliers, brand it with your logo and deliver it to your UK addresses, with one quote and one invoice from Swish and Click Ltd.

                                                              How do I get a quote?

                                                              Send us the products you have in mind, the quantities, your logo, the delivery addresses and the date you need them by, using our quote form or email. We reply with a written quote in pounds and the timing that goes with it.

                                                              Is there a minimum order?

                                                              There is no single minimum: it depends on the product and the branding method, because set-up costs make very small runs less practical. Your quote shows any minimum, and on some items short runs are possible.

                                                              Will I see my logo on the product before you make it?

                                                              Yes. We send a digital proof showing your logo on the product, with its position, size and colours. Nothing goes into production until you approve it in writing.

                                                              Can I get a sample first?

                                                              Often, yes: blank or branded samples can be arranged on many products. Any cost is stated up front.

                                                              How long does it take?

                                                              Standard catalogue items take about 7 to 14 working days to make after proof approval and payment, and express lines from 2 working days on selected items. UK delivery then takes about 3 to 5 working days from UK-based suppliers, or 5 to 8 from European suppliers including customs. Every date is an estimate, not a guarantee.

                                                              Where do you deliver?

                                                              Anywhere in the UK, to one address or many: offices, sites, events and home addresses. Northern Ireland is quoted per order, and the Highlands and Islands can take longer. See delivery across the UK.

                                                              Are prices shown with or without VAT?

                                                              Our quotes are in pounds and show prices without VAT, with VAT at the standard 20% added as one line. If an item carries a different rate, the quote shows it.

                                                              How do I pay?

                                                              Pay the pro forma invoice by bank transfer, and production starts once payment clears. Approved organisations can use a 30-day credit account and pay by purchase order.

                                                              Which branding methods do you offer?

                                                              Embroidery, screen printing, pad printing, transfer and full-colour printing, laser engraving and debossing, depending on the product. We suggest the method that suits your logo and the item.

                                                              What logo file should I send?

                                                              Send a vector file if you can: AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF. If you only have a JPG or PNG, send it anyway: we can often redraw it, and you approve the new file before it is used.

                                                              Are there import charges on goods from European suppliers?

                                                              Delivery terms are agreed before dispatch and written on your quote: DDP, where we handle the import, or DAP, where the receiver pays import VAT and any duty and needs a GB EORI number.

                                                              Do you hold stock?

                                                              No. Each order is sourced from the supplier that makes or stocks the product and delivered direct to your addresses, so the lead time runs from your proof approval.

                                                              What if something arrives damaged or wrong?

                                                              Tell us straight away with photos of the box, the items and the label. We investigate with the supplier or courier and agree the remedy with you, case by case.
