No questions asked. Free refreshments, play area for the children, women only nursing area and baby changing space. Saturday, 25th of April, 1-3pm. River Church Hall, River Church, 71 Vincent St, London E16 1LS. Public transport: Canning Town Station, Jubilee tube and DLR Rathbone Market, Buses 5, 69, 115, 300, 330, 474 Canning Town Recreation Ground, Bus 325 Donations accepted on the day from 11am. Four years of All4Free events, more than 2,000 people supported last year with essential goods. Please share as far and wide as possible to reach out to as many families as possible! Since our first event, we stick to the simple concept to give away donated items to support families with essential goods. All exchanges are non monetary- everything is for free, no one is charging for any of the services. According to the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) in 2021/22, 18% of children were in material deprivation (2.6m), 8% of children were in material deprivation but not in a low-income family (1.1m), and 10% of children experienced the combination of both material deprivation and living in a low-income family (1.5m). Literally tonnes of tangible items go to waste, while families cannot afford to buy essential goods for their children. BBC Manchester reports an “estimated 60 million clothes come in from charity shops and local authority textile bins across the region [Manchester] but there are fears a growing amount cannot be recycled. The reason is thought to be the rise of so-called fast fashion, the mass production and sale of low quality and cheaply-made clothing closely following the latest trends.” Peter Page, head of recycling and sustainability, said: "It's very difficult because clothing is not designed to be recycled. It's designed to be bought, to be worn and then to be thrown away." Making these clothes available for families in need is serving two purposes: minimising perfectly good items going into landfill, and supporting people in need.

Keeping the children warm and comfortable, mums feeling beautiful, treating themselves to some new garment - for free!
