GIVE & TAKE: Toys, Games, Books and Clothes for Under 11s
TODAY: Saturday 31st July, 12 - 4 pm
People will not have to give to be able to take. You can give, you can take or you can give and take, whichever works for you. The whole idea is to repurpose unwanted items and pass them on to people who can use them, rather than ending up in landfill. Next event: Saturday 28th August: Small Household Items & Entertainment
