We are a small group of volunteers who know what it is like to try and keep up with fast growing children. We accept good condition, pre-loved, clean, children's clothes from ages 2-12yrs. We then redistribute them to local families that can make use of them. All clothes are free.

We have three ways you can access our clothes.

You do not need a referral from someone to use the hub. The clothes are available to any local families that can make use of them. This is regardless of financial or social circumstances. 

1. Our new 'Clothes Hub Corner' at Trumpington Meadows School

Available weeks days from 3:10-6pm in the community area of Trumpington Meadows Primary School. There is uniform for Fawcett and Trumpington Meadows schools, generic uniform, everyday clothes, underwear, shoes and welly boots. Please keep the area tidy.

2. At one of our 'pick your own' stalls. 

These are a chance for you (or your child) to pick the clothes yourself. We usually have everyday clothes, coats, school uniform, seasonal items eg Christmas jumpers or swimwear.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for the latest information about when and where the stalls are. 

3. Trumpington Park, Trumpington Meadows and Fawcett Primary School Uniform Rails

There are free uniform, clothes rails available during term time, at all three of the Trumpington Primary schools. 

Trumpington Park Primary - the rail is available, under the covered entrance area, most days (weather dependent!)

Trumpington Meadows - the rail is in the main reception foyer, available during school time. There are also shoes and some everyday clothes.

Fawcett Primary - there is a rail in the main playground on a Friday afternoon, at pick up time (weather dependent!) This has ages 5-12 uniform on.

There is an early years rail - age 3-5 yrs,  in the main foyer by the school office. This is available during school hours.

All uniform items on the rail are free. 

Please do not leave donations at the rails as the schools have no ability to store them. If you wish to donate uniform please use one of our two donation points or bring them to a 'pick your own' stall. 

4. Fill in the form  (button below the gloves!)

We can then make up a box of items for you which you collect from one of our two collection points - see below.

We are happy to accept requests from people helping Trumpington families e.g Midwives, Health Visitors, Family workers, Social Workers, Teachers, Good Friends.

Do you have clothes or uniform you wish to donate to the hub?

First please make sure your donations are suitable

1. The right age  -  2-12 years only please.

2. Clean - have you emptied the pockets of treasures?

3. Wearable  - no holes. 

4. If donating socks please be paired and not worn out on the soles.

5. If possible please leave them in a bag rather than loose in the collection box - this makes it easier for our volunteers to collect them.

6. Plimsoles/PE trainers/school shoes /wellies - please do not donate any other types of shoes. We do not have the storage space for any other types of shoe. We wish we did!

Thank you to everyone who supported our 'Pants' 3rd birthday party! April 2024.

We are pleased to report that the ‘Pick your own’ stall/3rd birthday party, on the 20th of April 2024 was an outstanding success! We welcomed around 100 families to choose spring and summer clothes and to party with us.

The theme of the party was ‘Pants’, the aim being to raise funds to buy new underwear and socks for the boxes we make up for local families. There’s nothing quite as nice as putting on new pants and socks!

There was cake, face painting and a tombola stall, with lots of brilliant prizes to be won.  The face painting was amazing, and kids and adults alike queued up to have stencils of pants painted on to their faces. The cakes were very popular, too, especially our birthday cake, which was lovingly created by one of our team, complete with a washing line full of pants!

The cakes, drinks and face painting were free of charge, thanks to our trusty band of volunteers. All the tombola prizes were donated to us, and we are immensely grateful to all the local people and companies who supported us so generously, enabling us to raise funds to cover our day to day running costs and stock up on essential underwear.  There were some fabulous prizes and a lot of happy people. 

We are incredibly grateful for all the support we received from families and local businesses. The kind and generous donations have already helped us to supply new underwear to local families and it will continue to help us in the months to come. Trumpington Kids Clothes Hub could not exist without the amazing support we receive from the Trumpington Community.
