Donate your kids clothes and toys to mums nearby!
“What if it was easy to find a mom, near me, who wanted to do hand-me-downs with me?”
That simple thought is what sparked Let’s Match Mums. Our founder saw how fast kids outgrow their clothes—and how much nearly-new stuff ends up gathering dust in wardrobes or going to waste. She wanted a better way to pass it on. Something direct, human, and meaningful.
Matched Mums
I met with Arife earlier this week and passed on some clothes, shoes and puzzles. She was lovely and I'll keep in touch with her when I have another batch of clothes ready.

What We Do
How it works.
Let’s Match Mums is an Irish-founded community that connects local mums with refugee mums in their area who need kids’ clothes, toys, and baby equipment.
When you sign up, we find you a mum who has children a few sizes or years behind yours. As your child outgrows their clothes, shoes, toys, or baby gear, you can pass it all along—easily and directly—to someone who needs it. No clutter. No waste. No guesswork.
This isn’t just about donating. It’s about creating a kind, sustainable system of giving where hand-me-downs feel like helping a friend.
Our Impact
Since launching, we’ve:
🧺 Matched over 17,000 mums in Ireland
🎒 Recirculated more than €10 million worth of kids’ clothes, toys, and gear
🧸 Helped thousands of refugee families get essentials for their children
🤝 Partnered with local NGOs, shelters, and community groups
♻️ Saved mountains of usable goods from going to landfill
We make it easier than ever to donate kids clothes near you—and know exactly who they’re helping.
Why it Matters
Raising a child is expensive. Starting over in a new country is even harder. For refugee mums and families in need, access to basic goods for their kids—clothes, coats, toys, cots—can be a real challenge.
Let’s Match Mums makes it simple to help. You don’t have to figure out where to donate kids clothes nearby. We do that for you. And we make sure your generosity goes straight to another mum who needs it most.
