Donation Information
Thank you to everyone who has supported by donating new and pre-loved items to support children who are in need. Your kindness helps us keep our shelves stocked meaning we can quickly and efficiently respond to requests for support. Here is all the information you need to be able to donate the goods your little ones no longer need.
Our next donation sessions are on the following days:
Wednesday 10th August – 11am – 2pm
Wednesday 14th August – 11am – 2pm
We politely ask for you take note of the following:
- We are located at 3 Glaholm Road, Hendon, Sunderland, SR1 2NX. We are not able to offer a collection service therefore all donations would need to be dropped off at our office. There is on site car parking available.
- Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell or showing symptoms of COVID-19.
- We politely ask for only items on the wishlist to be donated, we have very limited space and resources and unfortunately cannot accept everything which is kindly offered to us
- It would be a huge help to us if your donations were in a good clean condition, freshly laundered and sorted in size/gender. Labelling bags to their contents will help us greatly as we can work quickly to sort and re-home your items.
- Please ensure all fixtures and fittings are included where applicable. Instruction manuals for prams, cots, cotbeds etc would be preferable.
- Please ensure toys are in full working order with no missing parts before donating for another child to use

Some good advice in your post I am able to put to good use in my upcoming plans.
Thanks for spending some time to share this, I know that
this can help a great many others as it has helped myself.
My wife is attempting to keep me away from the online world since she believes I devote too much time on it.
Nevertheless, I really do take pleasure in filling my head with as much knowledge that I
can find. I also like to spend some time to say thanks
to people if they have taken the time to help me, which is why
I am commenting now. Many thanks for this interesting article.
