How to donate your items

Donated items must be GOOD QUALITY and CLEAN - this includes all uniform (branded and non-branded), shoes, sports and PE kits, coats, and book bags. But please NO old style logo items that your school no longer accept, tights, socks, stained, or holed items. Please remember that these items are being passed on to another child.

Before donating, please ask yourself “Would I put my child in this the first week of school?” If the answer is no, then simply place items in a clear bag and leave with your home recycling collection.

You can donate via Howden Insurance, Thatcham, Tiny Town Café, Newbury, Skoolkit, Newbury (recycle bin just inside the door), or via the Foodbank areas in local supermarkets. Simply place items folded in a bag, tied up, and drop them in the Foodbank collection points.
