The Stour Toy Library is an initiative of The Stour Health and Wellbeing Partnership, a charity based in Shipston on Stour.
It works on a loan system in the same way as a book library.
Use their website to see what toys they have available to borrow. Sign up to become a member. Membership is £5 for the year and all borrowing is free of charge.
They ask that in order to secure a toy, it must be reserved. It will be checked out on the website once it has been collected.

Toys can be collected from:
Shipston Baby and Toddler group, Monday 10 - 11am at the Scout Hut

Parents/carers may book two toys for each child aged 4 and under.
Alcester Community Fridge
Located at Alcester Baptist Church, this Community Fridge is open to everyone and provides a space where residents and local businesses can share surplus food. Anyone is welcome to take what they need — no forms, no fuss.
Supported by environmental charity Hubbub UK, the fridge helps tackle the UK's growing food waste problem while fostering community spirit. Whether you're a local food business, allotment holder, or just clearing out your fridge before a holiday, your donations are welcome.
Where: Ken Kennett Centre, 100 Justins Avenue, CV37 0DA

The project aims to reduce food waste and build community by taking surplus food from local supermarkets, farms and even home-grown donations from residents, and turning it into free meals for people in the local community.
