Supporting Local Playgroups – One Pair of Pants at a Time!
One of the things I love most about running Little Ones Preloved is the opportunity it gives me to support families and children in my local community.
Today, I wanted to share a little feel-good moment that you—my lovely customers—have made possible.
Earlier this week, our local children’s playgroup reached out and asked if I had any second-hand boys’ underwear. I always try to keep a small supply aside for them, but this time I had nothing in stock. They let me know they were completely out and in urgent need of spare boys’ pants for little ones who had accidents or just needed a clean change during the day.
So today, I headed straight to the TU sale and picked up £15 worth of brand-new boys' pants—that’s 40 pairs in total! All thanks to the amazing support I receive from you. Whether you're shopping with me, leaving a tip at checkout, or simply cheering Little Ones Preloved on, it all makes a difference.
What’s even more special? 100% of every tip added at checkout goes straight into our community support pot. That means every single penny helps us provide essentials like spare undies, warm coats, and clean clothes to playgroups, schools, and families who need them most.
Requests like this come in more often than you might think, and I’m so grateful that Little Ones Preloved is in a position to help—thanks to your continued support.
If you ever have spare new or nearly-new children’s underwear or clothing your little ones have outgrown, I’d love to hear from you. Your donations help us continue supporting local playgroups and schools with the essentials they need.
I’ll be sharing a photo of the pants I picked up on social media soon—so keep an eye out if you’d like to see exactly what your tips helped buy!
And if you know a local playgroup, school, or family in need of support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I always do my best to help where I can.
If you'd like to support moments like this, you can always add a tip at checkout or simply continue to spread the word about what we do here. Every bit of support goes directly back into the community.
Thank you for helping me do this work. It’s more than just clothing—it’s care, comfort, and community.
