“No child or young person should fail to realise their potential through want of suitable clothing.”

About us

Our Story

In 2017 a group of like-minded folks got together to provide a service in the Scottish Borders similar to that in neighbouring authorities – to provide donated and recycled clothes for children so they could take part in any opportunity to help fulfil their potential.
‍
Within twelve months five Trustees were in role, the charity was registered (SC048410), volunteers joined, 65 children were supported with 195 bags of high quality clothes, lovingly presented as gifts in presentation bags.

With a great team of committed volunteers Tweed Togs emerged from these humble beginnings to becoming an established charity, providing a reliable, caring service for children from birth to 12 years. READ MORE

There’s stuff here that I could’ve only dreamt about buying for my girls this winter, and so beautifully put together. After losing my job, leaving an abusive husband and being left with nothing - you have put the biggest smile on my face and the girls will love the clothes too. Thank you x”

Mary Ritchie Health Visitor ‘Working as a Health Visitors with families who are struggling is very, very difficult. People have no idea of the reality of their situation. It affects all aspects of growth and development; physical,emotional, psychological. Very, very difficult circumstances. I can’t actually put into words the difference Tweed Togs makes to our families. Many families would have no clothes at all for their children but for Tweed Togs’.
