As many of you will know, My Mito Mission has been selling on eBay for over four years, raising over £10,000 for our vital cause. We sell items donated by you, our incredible supporters; anything from toys and games, to jewellery, to homeware.
We thought about opening a Vinted shop from our office for a long time, but never had the time or facilities to do so. This all changed recently, when volunteer Sophie joined us full-time.
With a keen fashion sense and a great eye for the best items, Sophie has been working tirelessly to photograph, research and upload items! She has also been training up our other volunteers to take the best quality pictures and write brilliantly detailed descriptions.
But why Vinted?
Every year, Brits throw away 300,000 tonnes of old clothes in their household rubbish bins, estimated to be £140 million worth! That’s about 7kg of fashion waste per person [businesswaste.co.uk*]. Needless to say, that can’t be great for the environment.
When our supporters bring their old clothes to us instead of throwing them away, they’re not just saving the planet, they’re also supporting a great cause!
It’s super easy to support us- at the moment, we only accept donations in person at our office in Elland, or can arrange for local pick up; but one of the best ways to help out is to check out our Vinted shop and see if anything takes your fancy! With nearly 200 new and preloved items currently available, you’re sure to find a great second-hand bargain.

We are thrilled to be able to announce that My Mito Mission have been granted £18,000 by the National Lottery Community Fund.

This money has been granted for the My Mito Meet Up, taking place in October, and will then free up other money for vital mito awareness, research and support.

The My Mito Meet Up is a vital weekend for our missionees to get much needed support from each other.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the National Lottery Community Fund from all at My Mito Mission!

We are delighted to welcome Aisling O’Brien – known as Ash – to our charity.

Ash is our new Charity Assistant and will be with us for at least six months, based at our Elland HQ. She brings a wealth of talent and experience in the charity sector and is already a highly valued member of our team.

Welcome Aisling! 💚

Last year proved to be a wonderful year for our charity. Of course, it was not without its devastation, as we lost two of our precious missionees, Brody in February and Ronni in July.

In tribute to Brody, Ronni and all the others lost to mito before them we carry on our mission with them all in our hearts.

Highlights of 2023 include:
9 new missions
Our very first charity ball
Our second My Mito Meet Up
Breaking the £100k barrier for funds raised to help us enable even more awareness, support and research.
… But there was an incredible amount more that we achieved with thanks to you, our supporters.

Let’s go from strength to strength in 2024!
