Thanks for checking our donations page. The items you give us will be passed on to families who need them. It’s really important that the items we give out are in excellent condition and that families feel good about receiving them. Please check everything thoroughly before giving them to us, making sure it's clean, washed, stain-free, fully functioning and looking good. Thank you!

We are a predominately volunteer run project as part of a charity, and our services are free of charge. Donations go a long way to support the running of this project - ensuring we are able to purchase what we need to coordindate, clean, sort, store and distribute clothing for babies and children up to 10 years old. We also provide essential sanitary products to those who use the service.
​
Furthermore, we hope to develop the service to provide a brilliant way for local families to become more environmentally conscious and sustainable in their use of clothing and items for children, through using the Small Project as a clothing library and promoting a sharing economy.
A £7.00 monthly donation is enough to pay for a sanitary pack for a child baby on a monthly basis, this includes nappies and wet wipes. Please consider a regular donation to help us keep running this service.

What we do with the donations we receive:
The clothes and other items we receive are made available free of charge to any families in financial need or in difficult circumstances. We have a large referral base, and ensure that as many community members and those we provide support to can access the project. The Small Project reserves the right to give away, sell, or dispose of any donated items which are unsuitable for use or surplus to requirements.
