How to Donate Clothes & Toys
We rely soley on your wonderful donations to enable us to run our swap events. The easiest way for you to donate to us is to bring YOUR DONATIONS along to OUR EVENTS. Saving items from going needlessly to landfill and also giving you the opportunity to get some 'new to you' preloved items to take home. If you'd like to donate large items to Berwickshire Swap, we have open unit events on our website and Facebook page. This allows us and our premises to accommodate them.
Please DO NOT leave items outside our unit or our Duns Hub.
Our Duns Reuse Hub is dedicated to pre-loved, clean and good conditions children's clothing and toys.
Next to the Volunteer Hall, Duns. Open Monday - Friday, 9am - 6pm.
Our volunteers have worked hard to tidy and organise the green shed, making it easier for the community to donate and take items as needed. They've put in a lot of time and effort to get the hub in shape, so let's all do our part to keep this area clean and tidy. Your support means the world to us!
Take what you need to help your family thrive.
