donating items
Everything you need to know
First of all, thank you so much for thinking of us
Railway Gardens thrives on the generosity of its community, and we are really grateful that you want to offer us something.
As a small team, in a space with limited storage, we have to be quite careful about what kind of items we accept as donations. We’ve therefore put together a quick list of things we currently need, and things we can’t currently accept, to help you decide if it’s worth you bringing your item along. We kindly ask that you don’t leave things on site or outside the gates.
We currently need...
- Chess sets for the new children’s chess club
- Colourful yarn and ribbon
- Handmade art for the Community Gallery – this can be on loan to us if you prefer!
- A small number of 1 litre pop bottles (we need about 6!)
- Packets of seeds (in date seeds only please)
We can't currently accept...
- Plant pots of any size
- Bamboo canes
- Children’s toys and books
- Furniture
- Any craft supplies not listed in the green column
Thank you for your understanding.
