A Spalding couple are appealing for unwanted baby clothes in a bid to help those less fortunate.
Mark and Sarah Le Sage have launched Ella’s Project – named after their 21-month-old daughter and linked with Mark’s charity The Rightside Trust.
Mark said: “We’ve got lots of clothes that Ella has grown out of – some of them hardly worn.
“We have donated some to the women’s refuge in Boston, but it got me thinking about how we could use them to help others in need.
“We decided to launch Ella’s Project which is a project in conjunction with the prison service, collecting baby clothes.
“I understand that some people pass clothes on to friends or family or give them to charity, which is great, but if you have lots of unwanted clothes that you don’t know what to do with, please consider donating them to Ella’s Appeal.”
Mark is asking anyone who has washed, unsoiled and usable clothes for children aged up to five years, to donate them to the appeal.
He added: “We will be setting up several collection points from where the clothes will go to the prison service where prisoners will process and box them and send them on for national and international use. The whole process will take about three weeks.
“Hopefully the project will benefit those caught up in international disasters such as the recent earthquake in Nepal.”
Clothes can be dropped off at collection points in Spalding at Tulip Radio, The Crescent, The Ivy Wall, New Road, and Spalding Travel, Swan Street, as well as Baytree Nurseries Garden Centre in Weston.
If any businesses would like to help with diesel costs Mark would be very grateful.
