Give & Take FREE Event
14 July 2024 - Langthorne Park
Waltham Forest’s Festival of
Reuse and Repair
Bring donations for the ever-popularย free Give & Take led by us andย Walthamstow Toy Library!
Simply bring something along you no longer use to give and take something away you need. Donations will be accepted from 10.30 am on the day (so half an hour before the event starts.) You can also bring your items to our warehouse (Unit 7, The Sidings, E11 1HD) on Thursday 7 March between 11am and 4pm, if that’s more convenient.
WHAT CAN YOU BRING?
Gently used clothes, toys, books, bric-a-brac, arts and crafts,ย crockery, cutlery, and kitchen utensils are welcome, as well as small electricals which will be PAT-tested on the day. We will also accept garden tools andย house plants so if you have any that need a new home, bring them along!
You can donate just about anything, as long as it is in good condition: garden tools, items and plants, bikes and accessories, clothes and textiles, small furniture (anything that can be carried by one person- like a chair), mirrors and frames, small electrical items and tools.
!!!
WE CANNOT ACCEPT:ย VHS tapes, CDs and DVDs, large furniture including mattresses and white goods, dirty and broken things and underwearย wonโt be accepted.
