What is GrowKids?
We recycle nearly-new clothes, toys and equipment to help families in need with Children under 11.
This is regardless of income, background or faith; no referral is needed (for most items), and all items are free!
We want to build community and relationships to support young families as well as providing them with clothes and equipment. We also want to empower those we help by asking them to be part of the solution, so we ask them to recycle their under 11's kit with us when it is no longer needed.
Can GrowKids help you?
Do you need Children's clothes or equipment? We might have what you need!
Can you help GrowKids?
Have items you no longer need? All we ask is that items are complete, clean and in a good condition.
Please do not drop off items outside opening hours unless this is arranged first.
Guidance on what items we are currently accept to accept is available on our Facebook page (posted weekly).
If you don't have any items but would like to make a financial donation towards our work, that is now possible!
Details are further down this page.
We also have several volunteer roles you could help with:
Donations Sorter, Welcome Desk Volunteer, Toddler Group Host, Donations Volunteer and Craft Supervisor
Contact us for more information.
Opening Hours - Fridays (term-time only)
10:30 am - 12.00 pm for you to come and receive items you need.
12.30 - 2.00 pm for those donating items to drop them off.
