NCT Nearly New Sale - Saturday 14th March

Recommended Posts

LET YOUR BABY BOOM ON A BUDGET WITH NCT

 

The NCT is giving parents a financial lifeline by offering an alternative to forking out for brand new baby products with NCT Nearly New Sales. Nearly New Sales provide parents with the opportunity to buy top quality clothes, toys and accessories for babies and toddlers in ‘nearly new’ condition at knock down prices. Plus, all profits from the sales go towards helping the NCT charity support its services and campaigns.

 

With 700 organised UK-wide by local NCT branches each year, Nearly New Sales help around 250,000 expectant and new parents kit out their kids for far less than high street prices. Parents who are concerned about finances, especially during the current economic squeeze, could find the sales help ease the strain on their budget. Figures show the cost of raising a baby in the first year, including pre-birth purchases, can run between £1,000 to £3,500.*

 

NCT Nearly New Sales, sponsored by Comfort Pure and Persil Non-Bio, offer new and expectant parents a cut price alternative to buying new. Claire Annals, from the NCT Bassetlaw branch says; “One of our branch members bought almost everything she needed for her first baby from the NCT Nearly New Sale for under £200!”

 

Your nearest NCT Nearly New Sale is being held on Saturday 14th March @ The Salvation Army on Psalter Lane, Sheffield. It opens at 11 for members and 11.15 to non-members.

 

Parents can also help the environment too by buying or selling goods at NCT Nearly New Sales. Every year sales prevent over 300 tonnes of baby clothes and equipment ending up as landfill. Parents who are encouraged to come along as sellers must stick to the one condition that the goods they sell are 'nearly new'.

 

Timothy Todhunter, NCT Branch Fundraising Manager, says; “NCT Nearly New Sales give parents the chance to not only buy everyday items for a fraction of high street prices, but also to pick up a bargain for that special occasion. Nearly New Sales can help to ease the financial strain on families and offer a more economical alternative to buying brand new. So whether it’s cots, prams, toys or clothes, NCT Nearly New Sales should have everything you need.”

I highly recommend body armour for any NCT nearly new sale.

Waxy is right, it can be really busy, but that is because of all the great stuff and great prices! I would recommend you leave the kids at home, and if a baby has to come with you - bring them in a back carrier. Also, at this sale pushchairs are for buying not bringing!

 

There are 2 ways you can avoid some of the tussle... One is to volunteer on the day, you do have to commit to helping from 9 until around 2, but it is great fun, and you get first pickings! Contact our coordinator for details nctsale@googlemail.com, or if you are member of the NCT you get to come in 15 minutes before everyone else. For info on becoming a member go to http://www.nct.org.uk and follow the join us links.

There are still a few places left for people who wish to sell - it is a label system, rather than a car boot style system. Please contact nctsale@googlemail.com for more details.:)
