Sustainable Starts was only born last year to help families find affordable and easy ways to make more green choices - now it’s growing up fast!
The Liverpool-based Transition group runs a nappy library, regular clothes swaps, an eco-playgroup, partyware hire and its piloting a baby clothes lending scheme, where parents pay £2 a month for a bundle. When these clothes are outgrown, the set can be returned for the next size up.
Started by four parents who know only too well the juggle of bills, kids, sleep and trying to do the right thing, they’ve always been motivated to bring families together and offer really practical, easy options. A Transition Together/Community Fund seedfunding grant helped them grow and try new projects out - now that experience has helped them secure a bigger £20,000 grant by the National Lottery Community Fund to further expand.
The group said: “This funding will support us to keep delivering the projects we've got, and to expand what we're offering - watch this space..." We certainly will!
