The Exclusively Show has reinforced its commitment to supporting communities across the UK after exhibitors donated 11 pallets of surplus and sample stock to charity following this year’s event.

Organised by BHETA, the trade show returned to London on 8-9 June, combining its annual product showcase with its long-running charitable donation initiative.

Each year, exhibitors donate surplus products from the exhibition to support the Rainy Day Trust. For 2026, the initiative was expanded through a new partnership with In Kind Direct, enabling donated goods to reach an even wider network of families and communities in need.

The 11 pallets of donated home and consumer products will be distributed primarily through In Kind Direct’s national redistribution network, with the remaining stock supporting the Rainy Day Trust’s forthcoming Thousand Smiles campaign.

Anna Skeats, CEO of the Rainy Day Trust, said: “What really stood out was the spirit of generosity and care that runs right through this sector.

“Exclusively Show is a space where connections, conversations and collaboration can really flourish, and we are so grateful to have been part of it.”
