Trying to find local Parent Group?

Shez

someone mentioned on here about a Local Parents Type Group where you can donate your buggys, baby stuff etc.

Does anyone know what its called? I'm trying to see if theres one in my area.

I gave all of my old stuff to my Health Visitor to pass on to families who need it. Could you do that?

do you mean the NCT? the national child birth trust? they do nearly new sales....

or you could try the children's infomation service, pop along to a baby group and give it all away? i gave away some coupons yesterday at my regular baby group....

or you could always just freecycle them all....

thanks everyone, for the suggestions, I was going to put in freecycle, just wanted to see other options first, thought needy families might want to have first crack.

Home Start - is that part of the Sure Start organization? I belong to them.

thanks for all the links to websites will check them out.

Here we have the toy library but they also do baby stuff. Then people borrow them for the length of time they need them for a really small fee.

theres a place called baby gear in leicester dont know if its nationwide, it is run by care people (usually in residential homes etc) and they collect, service and sell baby equipment onto families in need (e.g £5 for a cot and highchair). i use this service sometimes professionally when referring a family. the good thing about it is that i believe you can only access this if you are in need.
