Soft furnishings must comply with current Trading Standards requirements and be clean and
free from stains. Upholstered furniture must have a label stating that the materials comply
with the 1988 or later fire safety regulations. Mattresses and upholstered bed bases should have a blue
label stating compliance with the 1996 regulation.

Electrical items should be in working order. Fridges and fridge freezers should

Working in partnership with ‘Moses Basket’ we also collect nearly new baby equipment and
clothing for children under 7 years.
