Totcycle

Totcycle is our baby and toddler goods exchange. We have everything from nappies and toiletries to clothing and toys, to larger items such as stairgates, cots and prams. Most of our items are donated by generous members of the public. Totcycle is open to anyone who needs it, regardless of their situation.

Totcycle is available at all of our Hubs when they are open. Totcycle appointments can be pre-booked by contacting the office. Using an appointment system means that everyone visiting Totcycle is given some privacy to explain to our team what they need, and have a one-to-one chat.

We can also sometimes arrange delivery if it’s not possible to get to us, or for bulky items such as cots. We cover a wide area (Maidstone, Medway, Isle of Sheppey and Tonbridge and Malling) and so delivery is only possible if we have team available in the area at the time. We also welcome visits from support workers who may be able to pick up Totcycle items on behalf of their clients.

To make it as fair as possible, and to ensure that we can support as many families as we can, we have a few Totcycle terms and conditions, which can be viewed below as part of the Totcycle registration form.

HUB/TOTCYCLE REGISTRATION FORM

TOTCYCLE ESSENTIALS

Totcycle Essentials is for families who have been referred to us, first time visitors, or for urgent/emergency situations. All items are provided free of charge. We depend on donations, and so we may not always have everything you are looking for, but we will always try our best to source it for you. There may be a waiting list for large, in-demand items such as cots, stair gates or travel systems. You can make an appointment by contacting our office.

TOTCYCLE BABY CLUB

Totcycle Baby Club is a community for parents and carers to swap, reuse and recycle baby and toddler items. Members have access to their own private Facebook group to do that, and are able to visit Totcycle up to once a month to find clothes, toys, bedding, toiletries and other small items. Larger items such as cots and pushchairs are still given out via the office, as for Totcycle Essentials.
Totcycle Baby Club Membership costs £10/year, or £1/month. You can register here:

DONATE TO TOTCYCLE

Totcycle donations can be bought to any of our Hubs when they are open, but please do contact us before coming down, as we very quickly run out of storage space and so can’t always take donations, no matter how lovely they are! Items that we always need are larger size disposable nappies (4 and above), baby wipes, and stairgates.

Please note that we don’t take donations of cloth nappies, duvets/pillows/cot bumpers, sit-in baby walkers, car seats or electrical goods. We do take opened packets of disposable nappies. We ask that all donations are clean and in good condition/working order, and that all formula/baby food is unopened/sealed and in date.
