02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The charity provides quality donated children's clothing to struggling families in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Clothes are donated by people locally, to one of our many drop-off points across the EH area. We collect and store the clothes at our unit in Ratho, where we sort the clothes into age and gender. We work via referrals from professionals working with families, such as health visitors, midwives, social workers and others. For each referral we choose a whole wardrobe's worth of clothes for that child. Then the clothes are ironed, folded and packaged into beautiful giftbags, ready for delivery back to the referring professional. Gift bags are free and recipients receive quality clothes. that have been put together with care and attention. Anything we can't use is passed on to other charitable organisations, so nothing is wasted. In the 12 months ended 31 December 2025 we gave clothing packs to 2046 children. We also provided Christmas Toys to 457 children.
