Giving a little boy a happy birthday
“Mum asked for a teddy. It doesn’t even have to be new.” One of our referral sources visited us and asked for some items for a little boy and his Mum. The boy was about to celebrate his 5th Birthday
We do not accept direct referrals from families/individuals and instead receive requests from local professionals (schools, health visitors, social workers, family centres, women’s shelters etc.) on behalf of families in need across Surrey and sometimes beyond. At Stripey Stork we firstly always try and meet the request using the donated items we already have in stock. We have a monthly wishlist that we use to tell our supporters what we need – this enables us to support families with donations received or we put out an request to our supporters via our Facebook and Twitter page for missing items.
Most importantly, Stripey Stork prides itself on passing on items in great condition. We want the families who receive items from us to feel like they are receiving a gift and not a handout.

While we hope to expand our services in future we largely support the Surrey region where we are located and do not offer a collection service. There are, however, a number of other amazing organisations around the UK who may be able to accept your donations of toys, clothes and other children’s items. Search the map below to find where and how you can support families with donations.
