So far, our sale has generated over £170,000 which has been donated to Cancer Research UK.

Each sale around 300 families sell clothing, bedding, equipment, toys, books and anything related to children. It is the ultimate in recycling with everything a family will need from birth to teenage/young adult. 

It is difficult to calculate how many families have benefited from our sales, but we estimate that in the last  5 years almost 3,000 families have sold their outgrown possessions, and in the same time over 5,500 people will have attended the sales!

Congratulations as well as huge thanks must go to Pat Farmiloe who started and ran this superb sale for so many years, supporting so many families.

History

The sale started in 1976 in a very small way and it has become huge!  It moved over the years from a bedroom, to Weston Green Church Hall, to Thames Ditton Youth Centre, until the local authority decided to close the centre down so that we were forced to find new premises again. They did us a huge favour as we relocated to the new sports and drama centre at Esher College.  We now have more than enough space to display all the goods, and have formed a very good relationship with Esher College who have been very supportive of our sale.
