How to Donate Clothes & Toys
The easiest way for you to donate to us is to bring them along to our events.
You can find a full list of our events on online here and on our Facebook page.
You can also donate clothing and small items at our Duns Hub which is outside of the Volunteer Hall in Duns.
Our Duns Hub is dedicated to good condition, pre-loved, clean children's clothing and toys.
The Hub is located next to the Volunteer Hall, Duns.
Open Monday - Friday, 10am until 4pm.
Please do not leave large items such as - cots, prams or large items of baby equipment at our Duns Hub.
You can contact us directly through our Facebook page or here to arrange drop off at our Chirnside premises or at one of our events.
Our volunteers have work hard to keep the Duns Hub tidy and organised. Let's all do our part to keep the space clear and accessible for everyone in the local community.
Your support means the world to us!
