Welcome to children’s storehouse

We take donations of good quality

These are given free of charge to disadvantaged families in crisis need who are referred to us by health, welfare and education professionals across Plymouth. We also run a twice weekly stay and play session for referred families, with a safe space to play and free drinks and snacks for the children.
Everything we give or do is unconditional and free of charge.
We rely on the kindness and support of the general public as well as funding from local and national organisations.

WHAT WE DO
Children’s Storehouse collects high-quality baby & children’s items — prams, cots, safety gates, toys, clothing, bedding — and gives them free to families in crisis who are referred by health & welfare professionals. In 2024 we supported 626 children from 326 families, distributing a total of over 1,300 items of vital equipment, and bags of clothing and toys.
We also run two “Stay and Play” sessions every week for referred families, where children and their carers can play and interact in a safe and friendly environment - free of charge.
