Tweed Togs

Charity registered in Scotland SC048410

For a Scottish Borders where no child is unable to realise their potential or misses out on activities and opportunities through want of suitable clothing. We assist families with children in need of a little extra support by gifting bags of recycled, preloved clothes which have been generously donated by our local community. We provide for children from birth to twelve years of age and aim to provide around a weeks’ worth of clothing including a jacket, new underwear and PJs.
