Environmental charity Aberdeen Forward opened its doors to the new Aberdeen Forward baby shop on Friday, 5th October with an official opening and coffee morning. With thanks to Gillian Marr.
The project will compliment Aberdeen Forward’s successful Real Nappy Campaign that helps promote cloth nappies and sell preloved nappies and accessories at rock bottom prices.
Speaking about the project, Lynn Smith, CEO, said
“Expecting a new arrival in a family can be an expensive business, especially in the current economic climate. We hope our baby store will serve not only as a resource for low income families but as a low cost alternative to buying new for all new parents.
“We’ve integrated the baby equipment into our main shop floor and are looking to provide a specialist service as time goes on. At the moment we’re building business and are happy to accept good quality items for resale.”
The sale of the goods will support the shop and ensure that these quality items benefit the wider community while avoiding waste.
