Please note, we do not work directly with individuals or families. If you are in need of help, please speak to a direct support agency such as your home school link worker, local children’s centre (find your nearest Surrey children’s centre), housing support, family support, health visitor or social worker.
Our service is free of charge and there is no assessment criteria, but items will need to be collected from our offices in Reigate by the referral partner.
We are always quick to respond to the referrals we receive as we know all too well the urgency behind these requests.
We will be running two hour drop-in sessions from 10:30am-12:30pm on Tuesdays 13th, 20th and 27th August.
1 From your work email account, please email refer@stripeystork.org.uk with a list of items needed and supporting information:
2 Once the items are ready, you will be contacted. Our storage space is limited so we would appreciate it if items could be collected promptly. Our offices are open for referral collections term time only, Monday to Friday 9:30am-1pm. See Contact page for more details.
Please allow plenty of time to be shown how to assemble and operate the larger items, such as cots and prams.
A rule which we live by at Stripey Stork is that our recipients should feel like they are receiving a gift and not a hand out, so all of the pre-loved items we re-distribute are clean, stain-free and in good working order.
As well as our day to day operations, we are well-placed in our community to undertake specific projects as the need arises.
