Party kits
Free-to-borrow party kits, created from good-condition, preloved items, to help reduce the purchase and use of new and single-use party items, and to help reduce the amount of disposable party items going to landfill.
These kits contain reusable plastic items, there is no glassware. They are most suitable for children's parties.
There is no charge to borrow these kits, we just ask that items are returned cleaned and ready to be used again, and that lost or damaged items are replaced.
Most kits contain items for between 12 and 16 guests.
