Local parents in Winchester can get their hands on top-quality baby essentials and give back to their local community at an upcoming NCT Nearly New Sale in October, kindly sponsored by Dybles, Baby Squids, Liz Knowles Women’s Health & Fitness Physio, 2Spots Ceramics and The Breaker Collective.
NCT Winchester’s Nearly New Sale is to be held on Sunday 13th October, 13:00–15:00, at Badger Farm Community Centre, Winchester, SO22 4QB. The sale gives a department store-style shopping experience, which is unique to the NCT. Buyers will find items conveniently organized by type or size. So, if you’re looking for 6–9-month clothing, for example, these will all be displayed together on one rail! If you fancy browsing for toys, equipment or clothing/shoes in the next size up, shop through the ‘store’ and take all your purchases to the contactless tills to pay for in one go.
Entry is £1.50 per adult (charity donation) on the door and will be free after 14:30 (plus, NCT members can enter early at 12:45).
More information can be found online at: www.nct.org.uk/event/46320593
Nearly New Sales are open to everyone, and offer high-quality second-hand baby and children’s clothes, toys and equipment at a fraction of the high street cost. Furthermore, families with baby and children’s items they no longer need can recycle them through the sale and stop them ending up in landfill.
NCT is the the national charity that supports people as they become parents. The Winchester branch runs much-valued services such as baby first aid courses, a reusable nappy library, breastfeeding support, a variety of meet-ups and baby bundles for local parents in need. Profits from the baby and children’s products sold at the Nearly New Sale will go back to the local Winchester branch so it can continue its vital work supporting parents in the area, as well as financing the organisation’s national helplines, website, peer support schemes and counselling services.

The Nearly New Sale can’t run without a fabulous, friendly team of on-the-day helpers, as well as a small organizing committee. A range of roles are available on the day, and volunteering provides entry to early access shopping, plus it’s a great way to meet other local parents!
