Pre-loved Clothes
We are always looking for good quality clothes to help people often arriving with nothing.
Please make sure all clothes have been freshly washed.
We particularly need warm adult coats of all sizes and jumpers and men’s clothes.
The only thing we don’t want is used underwear! (We understandably only give out brand new underwear.)
New Clothing & Shoes
Where we can we like to give people newly arrived some new clothing & shoes. These are needed for men, women and children for all ages and in all sizes.
- underwear
- socks
- baby clothes
- jogging tops & leggings
- t-shirts
- hoodies
- warm and waterproof jackets
- shoes
Bedding
People only have a short time to move and we give out bedding such as sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers. Please wash them before donating and label the size.
Homeware
Pans, crockery and cutlery are welcome in small amounts for when people have to move quickly into new accommodation.
New Baby – Welcome to the World
We offer a special ‘Welcome to the World’ pack to asylum seeker expectant mothers. These packs include new baby clothes, new towels, blankets, hand knitted baby layettes and handmade blankets. Donations welcome.
Baby equipment and clothing
You can also donate decent second-hand baby equipment such as Moses baskets, bedding, baby prams and pushchairs for toddlers.
