Reduce Reuse Kids' Clothes
​
Our Kids’ Clothes provision aims to save people money and help the planet by reducing fabric waste and encouraging people to reuse clothes instead of buying new. We accept donations and redistribute general clothes, coats and shoes for 0-12yr olds plus school uniform for all school ages. We have an active Facebook page where we advertise some seasonal items and people can message us with requests for bags to be made up for them to collect.
We work with The Leeds Uniform Exchange run by Zero Waste Leeds, running uniform stalls at the Leeds Breeze Events and participating in the Winter Coat Appeal.

Our environmental impact in 2023:
​
6 tonnes of fabric given out
Saving 106 tonnes of C02
And 741,491 litres of water
The equivalent of driving around the world 22 times!
​
We were Highly Commended in the 'Environmental Achievement of the Year Category at the Leeds Compassionate City Awards.
I do not remember the last time we had to go into a shop and buy a new item of clothing. My son is nearly 4 years old and is growing up to learn that clothes should be reused to cause less waste and help the environment. He comes with me and chooses his clothes and hats and even got himself a pair of 'magic' walking boots that make him run fast!
