Pendle in and out of school clothes project

30/08/2026

Hello just a little update on my surgery ❤️ all went well and I’m now on the rest and recuperate end of a total knee replacement.
Luckily my mother in law had been a diamond in taking over the topping up and tidying of the pop up.
Soo if you want to donate anything please give it a quick look over.
Please check that its in very good condition and ready for another child to wear on their first day back ❤️
We need all the uniforms, bags, shoes, lunch boxes etc so please think of us if you’re having a clear out and pop any donations under a rail. 🙏🙏
The pop up is as you know unmanned so just bob in and help yourself wed -sat 9/5.30 🙌🙌

We’ve had a huge donation of brand new uniform from Sainsbury’s ❤️ so we’re temporarily back in front of the sweet shop with some additional rails.
We’ve also had loads of other amazing items dropped off lots of new polos and shirts, little girls shoes lots of jumpers plus Holly school branded trousers, blazers and PE kits 💪💪

Hello I’m currently on holiday at the min and my lovely mother in law has been trying to keep on top of the pop up by herself
We currently have a small space downstairs with a temp storage room upstairs to top up from daily (which has worked so far)
We’ve had as always tons of donations THANKYOU 🙏🙏 but unfortunately carrying bags and bags and bags of them upstairs is just too much for our lovely Gwen.
we will be closed until im back and can have a good sort out.
We have been offered some temporary extra space so will be able to get everything out and available all sorted and easy to access.

Please please don’t buy anything when I say we’ve had lots of items im not kidding there’s a room full of them and all be be free to take ❤️❤️❤️ please share for me
Thank you for your understanding much love
Micky Gwen and Sheila (the mums)

💗 A Little Favour… 💗

I know this isn’t school uniform but there isn’t a better bunch of people to ask them you lot xx

I’m hoping the amazing people of our community can work their magic once again.

We’re supporting a lovely young lady who is expecting a beautiful baby girl. Sadly, through circumstances completely beyond her control, she’s having to start from scratch and is struggling to get everything she needs before her little one arrives.

We’ve already been overwhelmed by the kindness of people donating some wonderful essentials, and we can’t thank everyone enough. It just proves that when times are tough, people really do come together. ❤️

So far we’ve been lucky enough to receive:
✅ Pram
✅ Car seat
✅ Moses basket
✅ Steriliser
✅ Perfect Prep machine
✅ Bottle warmer

We’re still looking for:
👶 Newborn, 0–3 and 3–6 month baby clothes
🩷 Bibs
🩷 Hats
🩷 Socks
🩷 Coat/snowsuit
🩷 Vests, sleepsuits and everyday outfits
🩷 Next-to-me crib
🩷 Bedding
🩷 Towels
🩷 Baby bath or bath seat
🩷 Newborn nappies
🩷 Baby toiletries and any other baby essentials

If you have anything your little one has outgrown that’s clean and in good condition, we’d be incredibly grateful. Every single item will help give this little girl the best possible start.

Please pop me a message if you can help, and if you can’t, a share of this post could help it reach someone who can.

Thank you all so much. ❤️ It really does take a village. 👶💕

Helloooo
So if you’ve been in the market recently you will have seen our new spot.
Now obviously it’s tiny but we managed to get a decent selection of uniform out from the bits we’ve got no left and I’m sure it will work just fine.

We’ve been given a store room so all of your amazing contributions can be sorted and hung up there making topping up the cupboard a breeze each day ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Soooo now all we need is your donations either bobbed under a rail in the pop up, brought to me at the cafe or left with Craig the sweetie man.

This pop up is needed now more than ever the cost of uniforms has gone crazy along with everything else and your cash is better spent on the kids not paying for school clothes 😁
Please can I ask you all to share this post and think of us when you’re having a clearout il have boxes for shoes and bags etc.

We may be smaller but I’m determined to be mighty ❤️ Micky
Over to you now Colne do your thing 🥰
