Brighter Bristol Storehouse
We offer great quality children’s clothing, bedding and equipment to families in need, for free. Families are able to come along, have a chat over a cup of tea and choose the items they need from amongst the many items that have been donated to Brighter Bristol Storehouse, whether clothes, toys, books or vital baby basics, including prams and pushchairs, cots and Moses baskets. We are available throughout the week to local referral agencies in crisis cases so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Shelley Neal - we currently operate on an appointment only basis so do get in touch!.
Safety information regarding second hand clothes and equipment
For information regarding health & safety for you and your child, when you are obtaining second-hand baby and children’s goods and household items, please look at the following websites - Lullaby Trust, Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, Flammability Regulations or Mothercare. Alternatively, if you are unsure of anything then speak to your midwife or health visitor.
Due to storage issues, we sadly regret that we are unable to receive or supply furniture at present. We hope to resume this service shortly.

“Thanks so much for running Storehouse. I’ve been able to get clothes and toys for my kids, which I currently would have really struggled to do otherwise. I love that I can also bring in clothing which is now too small for them to help others who need it too.”
