Little Green Change's free annual Children's Christmas Give and Take event is taking place this year from 10:30am until 12:30pm on Saturday 30th November at Woodmead Halls. The idea of the event is for people to take what they need and give what they no longer use, extending the lifespan of items and keeping them from ending up in landfill, or from being incinerated.
There will be a selection of clothing, toys, games and books and everything on offer will be free. People do NOT need to bring items in order to take items, although donations of kids clothing, toys and kids books are welcome at the event and prior to the event.
Last year's event rehomed 275.6kg's of children's clothing, toys and books and directly benefitted 112 children, with lots more children benefiting from the free toys given to Uplyme Pre-School, Weldmar Hospicecare, and Axminster Community Primary Academy immediately after the event.
Donations can be brought 1 hour before the start time, or they can be collected by Little Green Change prior to the event from the Lyme Regis, Axminster and Charmouth areas. Please email info@littlegreenchange.com or text 07803705100 to arrange a local collection. Items must be in good condition and must NOT be torn, stained, dirty, damaged or broken.
