NCT Nearly New Sale in April
Charity begins at NCT Winchester’s Nearly New Sale
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 April. The sale is kindly sponsored by Dybles Estate Agents, Baby Squids and Liz Knowles Women’s Health & Fitness Physio.
NCT Winchester’s Nearly New Sale is to be held on Sunday 21 April, 1.00–300pm at the Community Centre. The sale gives a department store-style shopping experience, which is unique to the NCT. Buyers will find items conveniently organised by type or size, and there will be tills where shopping can be paid for all together. Entry is £1.50 per adult (charity donation) on the door and will be free after 2.30pm. NCT members can enter early at 12.45pm. You can find more information here.
Nearly New Sales are open to everyone. They offer high-quality secondhand 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.
Sarah Crisp, Sale Coordinator at NCT Winchester, says:
Coming to one of our Nearly New Sales is a triple whammy – parents get pre-loved baby bargains, they help to fund the branch’s services for other families, and they get to shop sustainably too. This means we can run groups such as our Bumps and Babies sessions, where local parents can connect and support each other.
About NCT
NCT is 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 event is run by a large team of on-the-day helpers, as well as a small committee. Helping on the day provides entry to early access shopping. It’s also a great way to meet other local parents! A range of roles will be available during the day. For more information about the Nearly New Sale or volunteering on the day, please email nns.winchester@nct.org.uk.
