How do you donate items to us?

Drop off at our shop

Please call us on 0141 339 7320 before you come down with your donations to make sure we have space for them. We cannot accept donations of large items such as furniture, changing stations or cots at our centre.

Donations can be dropped off at our centre at 27 Netherton Road, 23E, Anniesland, G13 1EU between 11 and and 2pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays. Please note we can not take donations on a Friday.

Our shop will close at 5pm on Saturday 25th June and reopen on Wednesday 3rd August. We will be unable to accept donations during this time.

Collecting donations

We are currently unable to collect donations from your home and will update our socials, and website, when this changes.

What happens to the items after you have donated them to us?

Once we have received donations, and they have been safely quarantined, our BB&B team get to work checking them over, making sure they are complete and safe.

Each item is checked, and double checked, then our team log the item and either put it in our Newborn Essentials Bundle storage facility or for individual sale in our shop.

Around 90% of the items we receive are allocated to our Newborn Essentials Bundles, any over stock we have is put up for sale in our shop. All funds received from items sold in our shop go straight back into our organisation!

All donations, big and small, make a huge difference to the families we work with. Without your donations we would not be able to provide our free Newborn Essentials Bundles to families.

Thank you for your support!
