A baby clothes swap is taking place in support of a children’s charity.

The baby clothes swap, organised by three local mums, will be held on April 11 at Earls Colne Village Hall, York Road, Earls Colne, starting at 10am until noon.

Event entry will cost £1 and proceeds from the day will be donated to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).

Participants are being asked to bring along any unwanted, clean items aged from newborn to two years.

For each item they bring they will be issued with a token that can be exchange for other items at the event.

Aurelia Moreaux, one of the event organisers, said: “This event is ideal for people wanting to remix their baby’s wardrobe without spending a penny.”

Jo Colbert, EACH partnership manager, added: “This is a great idea for a local community event that’s practical, good fun and raises money at the same time.

“Any funds raises will go towards vital work EACH does caring for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across north Essex and supporting their families.”
