Supporting local families,
building community
through our circular economy
Who we are
Stroud District Kids Stuff is a social enterprise at Brimscombe Mill. .
We are a part of The Stroud Grace Network, which includes Home Remedy, The Bike Drop, and The Long Table.
Our Vision
We want every family to thrive as they go through life’s journey.
We want to build a sense of belonging, sharing and community
and show that raising a family doesn’t need to cost the earth.
We are creating a circular economy
where families in the Stroud District pass us their preloved children’s items
to be sorted and reused by families in need of support,
families with restricted budgets and families that choose recycled items to reduce their impact on the environment.
OUR CIRCULAR ECONOMY SHOP is open
Monday 9.30am-2pm
Tuesday - Saturday 9.30am-4pm
Thursday 9.30am-6.30pm
Our Mission

offering flexible working opportunities that support them in their personal lives and the lives of their families.

How we build community
At Kid Stuff we believe that children and their adults all need somewhere to feel safe, to socialise and to build community that they feel a part of.
At Brimscombe Mill you will find a newly updated indoor playarea for the under 10’s. This space is free for families to use whilst the mill is open. We just encourage all families to respect the space, so that everyone has an enjoyable time. *children are the responsibility of their adults whilst playing on site.
Kids Stuff, alongside the other enterprises at Brimscombe Mill, hosts a variety of craft tables, holiday activities and community events aimed to bring families together.
