SCHOOLS, CHILDREN’S CENTRES & AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS

Too many toys? We’ll happily take any unwanted toys, books and games off you and re-distribute them to the nurseries, schools and after-school clubs that need them.

In 2018, Get rid of it and Donate provided books, games and arts and craft resources to the Grove Adventure Playground. Together with the Loughborough Junction Action Group (LJAG) and various volunteers, we campaigned for the reopening of the playground.

Victory was achieved and the playground reopened, after negotiations with Lambeth Council, in time for the school summer break thanks to the efforts of a team of dedicated volunteers.

In addition we have supplied books and toys to Coin Street Nursery, which is privately funded and managed by Coin Street Builders, providing children with enormous joy.

Get Rid of and Donate are overwhelmed each week with the donations of toys and books, we contacted local schools reaching out to families in need. We donated a total of 1380 toys and books, giving back to children, in return we got drawn pictures showing real appreciation. We were happy to bring a smile to the children’s faces - after a difficult time with the pandemic.
