Ely NCT's Nearly New Sales: Top-quality baby and children’s
clothes, toys and equipment at bargain prices - straight from their loving
owners.
The cost of kitting out your child for the first five years
can run into thousands of pounds. NCT Nearly New Sales are the perfect
solution, offering affordable essentials and accessories for you and your
family, while fundraising to support other parents in the UK. You'll also be
helping the environment by recycling your family's old belongings or buying
pre-loved items.
At our Nearly New Sales, you can pick up nearly new baby and
children's clothes, toys and equipment at around a quarter to a third of the
price you would pay on the high street. And for your peace of mind, every item
is quality and safety checked to NCT's exacting standards by our dedicated
local volunteers.
In Ely, we hold two Nearly New Sales a year. Our next Nearly
New Sale is taking place on Saturday 19th October, 10.30am-12.30pm at Ely
Community College. If you are an NCT Member, you can get in 15 minutes early to
view and snap up the excellent bargains on offer! We now have chip and pin
machines at our sales, so there's no need to worry about not having enough cash
on the day!
As ever we couldn’t run the sale without the help of all the
volunteers. Some are committee members,
some are NCT members and some are neither. One big advantage of helping out at
the sale is you get to browse and buy before even the NCT Members queue is let
in. A lot of the biggest bargains (toys especially) go before the sale is even
open! If you'd like to volunteer, please email us at ely_nct@yahoo.co.uk
We hope to see you there! If you're thinking of coming,
please check out our top tips for shoppers:
- Do your homework: check out the new NCT and Which? guide, which is crammed full of the information and services you’ll need over the First 1,000 Days of parenting.
- Be there early: larger sales can have long queues and it's best to get their early for a place at the front.
- Remember your NCT membership card: NCT members get an early start to their shopping at all sales so don’t leave your card/membership number at home! You can replace a missing membership card here.
- Come prepared! Have a list of what you want to get, in order of importance so you can get to those things quickly.
- Bring somebody along if you are pregnant or have your children with you to help to carry things as you never know when that bargain is going to crop up. You might think you went to buy clothes but you could come home with all sorts of goodies!
- Volunteer – if you have a few hours spare then you can volunteer at our sale. Our sales give volunteers some pre-sale shopping time to say thank you and to ensure they don’t miss all the shopping.
