hello families

If you’re struggling Financially and need children’s clothing we may be able to help

At MerryGoRound we help families experiencing hardship by providing free pre-loved clothes, shoes and books for children aged newborn to 11 years.

Please note that we do not accept self referrals and are unable to support individuals or families directly.

If you are experiencing hardship and would like to receive one of our children’s clothing bundles, you can ask any professional including your Brightstart family support practitioner, midwife, health visitor, family support worker, school, Children’s Centre or local foodbank to refer you to us. We can then prepare a bundle for you for delivery to the referrer (you can arrange to collect it from them). Please note we cannot deliver to families directly, unless the referring agency pays for a courier.

Our service is free of charge and there is no assessment criteria.

Our service is focused on the borough of Islington, however, we can provide support for families living in other London boroughs.

We rely on donations so we cannot guarantee the level of support we can offer, however, we will do our best to help!
