Kids Love Clothes

About

The charity set out to provide quality donated children's clothing to struggling families in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Clothes are donated by people throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. We collect and store the clothes at our unit in Ratho, where we sort each bag 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. Giftbags are free, and the 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 2024 we gave clothing packs to 2218 children. We also provided Christmas Toys to 394 children.
