About Merry-Go-Round Glasgow
Merry Go Round Glasgow is a children's boutique selling pre-loved children's goods. We are located on Nithsdale Road, in the Southside of Glasgow.
Merry-Go-Round Glasgow Description
Merry-Go-Round Glasgow is a not for profit community organisation. Our aim is to bring the community together and make being a parent a little bit easier!
Our shop sells high quality, pre-loved children's goods, available to all, at a fraction of the price. But more than that, we are a place to come and hang out, and meet others.
SHOP: Our shop is located at 32-34 Nithsdale Rd. We have a gorgeous retail space packed full of goodies, all at a fraction of the original price. We have everything you could ever need for maternity and baby up to age 6 yrs. We have a cloth nappy library, cloth nappy trial and loan kits too and also sell locally handmade baby gifts.
MEET: We also have a cosy parenting room for feeding and changing, and meeting others in. Pop in and have a free cuppa! We also host activities and gatherings such as mothers groups, music classes or storytelling.
DONATE: Pass us your reusable children's items and we will find them a new home and give them a new life. We accept everything baby and maternity related (nothing broken, no car seats or mattresses please)
VOLUNTEER: Come and join us! If you have some time on your hands, we would love to hear from you. Maybe you've got an eye for display, have sales experience, are a marketing guru, or wish to learn new skills. If you want to meet new people, and gain valuable experience then get in touch. We've been lucky enough to be able to keep some of volunteers on and move them on to paid employment too!
FREE GOODS: We work with partner agencies (currently over 30 of them) to provide free goods to families in need

THANK YOU to the brilliant students from Glasgow Clyde College who volunteered with us last week. You were all amazing!
They helped us sort loads of donations, prep our winter footwear and untangle hundreds of coat hangers, all with bags of energy!
Volunteers make a huge difference to what we can achieve at Merry-Go-Round. Happy International Volunteer Day!

We get a large number of requests for prams through our partnership programme, and although we do meet many of these requests, the free stretchy wrap that comes inside the NHS baby box is a great alternative for those first months! If you work with vulnerable families in Glasgow, remember we offer stretchy wrap classes completely FREE of charge to our partnering agencies to learn how to effectively use the free wrap! ūüėĀ

Very good workers who told me the ins and outs of cloth nappies
Such an amazing shop! Their crate sales are just the best thing ever and what a great way of giving back to the community.
