charity in SW20 0r SW19 accepting abby clothes/ maternity stuff

[mumofpe]

Hi all

I have done huge clear out. I was putting if off and off as I love so much my son and daughter baby clothes that I was unable till now to make any decision about them.
Any way I would like to give the clothes to charity, I just don't know what charity really.

So, any ideas?. I'm not crazy about selling the items.

Help and ideas about what do people do with the "baby stuff"..would be great.

There's a place in Mitcham called the Vine Project which might be a place to start. Alternatively don't Women's Refuges normally take good quality baby stuff?

Thank you. I will contact the Vine project. It does says they have a project with kids needs and they might welcome toys, clothes and nursery stuff. However it say at affordable prices, so I wonder if they re-sale the items.

I would be very interested to hear about what people actually do with most of their baby clothes. I do not have close family with small children and my friends kids are same ages that ours.

People do not tend to accept these type of things unless they are close friends.

Let see how it goes.

Good luck....We kept good stuff in case and put the rest (which was still in good condition) in charity clothes banks at the supermarket- even if they don't sell them or pass them on to people in need in developing countries, the money made from rags (if it comes to that!) goes to charity....
Toys - charity shops or schools (Nurseries and Reception classes often grateful for good quality toys for appropriate aged children).

I found that Prince Alice has got a Children dedicated shop in Kingston so i might drop by with some of the stuff.

Thank you for your help

Good for you!
