Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round gives out free packs of children's clothes and supplies for children up to 24 months through its Carousel programme — but only through a referral agency. Over 130 Glasgow agencies (health visitors, charities, support workers) can request a free pack for a family they work with using the charity's online referral system; there is no way on the site for a family to ask directly. They also run a charity shop at 32-36 Nithsdale Road selling baby and children's items cheaply, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-4:30pm — this is a shop you pay in, not somewhere free packs are handed out, so the times below are deliberately left blank.
You need a referral first. Ring them, or ask a support worker, health visitor or Citizens Advice to refer you.
Their website says: We are currently registered with over 150 agencies across Glasgow including local health visitors, charities and social enterprises. Since 2016 we have given out over 5000 packs to families in need, currently averaging at 72 packs a month. Our partners can access free goods for families that they work with through our online referral system. If you are a agency, charity or local health practitioner that could benefit from receiving our free packs for your network you can become a registered partner.
Who it's for: Glasgow families with children under 24 months (via a partner agency)
