An annual Christmas Give and Take event is returning to Lyme Regis.

The Littler Green Change Give and Take event will take place on Saturday, November 30, from 10.30am-12.30pm, at Woodmead Halls in Lyme Regis

Last year's event allowed 275.6 kilograms of children's clothing, toys and books to be recycled to new homes, with 112 children benefiting.

Additionally, free toys were given to Uplyme Pre-School, Weldmar Hospicecare, and Axminster Community Primary Academy immediately after the event.

The idea of the event is for people to take what they need and give what they no longer use, extending the lifespan of items and keeping them from ending up in landfill, or from being incinerated.

People do not need to bring items in order to take items, although donations are welcome.

Little Green Change's Founder and Director, Clare Matheson said, “We've already had some kind donations from local residents including high street label clothing, a wide range of kid’s fiction and non-fiction books, and toy brands including Disney, Lego, Thomas the Tank Engine, Harry Potter, and more, but we're aiming to fill Woodmead Halls again this year, so further donations from generous residents are required.”

Donations can be brought one hour before the start time, or they can be collected prior to the event from the Lyme Regis, Axminster and Charmouth areas.

If you would like to donate, email info@littlegreenchange.com or text 07803705100 to arrange a local collection.

Items must be in good condition and must not be torn, stained, dirty, damaged or broken.
