The hub started in 2019 as ‘Crewe and Nantwich Uniform Exchange’, a place for the local community to recycle and reuse school uniforms, winter coats and multiple other seasonal items. In October 2020 we opened Motherwell Community Share Hub on Beech Drive, Wistaston. Our sustainable, accessible to all scheme is here to help reduce the amount of items heading to landfill. This provides a range of different services for ALL of our community with no questions asked while encouraging us all to #reuse #recycle and #rewear our pre loved items.

Our support starts with our Baby Bank, supporting expectant or new mums. The Baby Bank can provide items for babies up to two years of age, from our new mum vouchers, a scheme with the local midwives and health centres providing vouchers to these families, which in return supplies them with a packed Moses hamper with items for mum and baby. Our Baby Bank provides like-new items to families including cots, clothing bundles, travel systems, prams, double strollers, cots and nappies and much much more!

Our hub stocks school uniforms, generic and branded items, stationery, and period poverty kits. And in addition, we have our fancy dress, and seasonal related stock. Within the hub we have our Footlocker Scheme, we receive pre loved football boots and astroturf trainers from local sports clubs and schools, these are then given back to children to encourage and empower them to keep on playing the sport they love. With our seasonal items, these range from winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves to Christmas jumpers, prom dresses and suits!
