For the fifth year running, we’re proud to be supporting Oxfam’s Second Hand September campaign, helping to highlight the benefits of pre-loved shopping and encouraging us all to make more sustainable choices.
Since 2022, our Second Hand September activity has helped give pre-loved products another lease of life while raising funds to support Oxfam’s work fighting poverty and injustice around the world.
This September, there are even more ways to get involved – from donating your little one’s outgrown clothing and shoes to choosing one of our professionally reconditioned pre-loved pushchairs.
-
Given 19,500 baby clothing items a chance to be reused
-
Donated £14,500 through the resale of items through Oxfam’s shops and their website
-
3,114 kg – Approx 40,282 items of donations have been received so far from Mamas & Papas
-
The resale value of Mamas & Papas donations to be sold in Oxfam stores are estimated at £27,661 which will support Oxfam’s work fighting poverty and injustice.
-
Supported to overcome poverty and injustice around the world by simply dropping off pre-loved items in one of our stores across the UK and Ireland.* Unfortunately we do not accept Oxfam donation in any of our M&S concession locations.
Donate & Save £5
This Second Hand September, we’ll give you £5 off when you spend £25 or more in store on the same day that you donate your pre-loved baby or children’s clothing or shoes to one of our Oxfam donation boxes.
We want to make it as convenient as possible for families to pass on the items they no longer need. By donating pre-loved clothing, you can help give it another chance to be reused, recycled or repurposed while helping to raise vital funds for Oxfam.
You’ll find Oxfam’s green donation boxes in all Mamas & Papas stores and Next concessions.
Please note that Oxfam donation boxes are not available in our M&S concession locations.

Our Loved for Life Services
Beyond Second Hand September, we’ll continue offering our Loved for Life services, designed to help families get more life from the products they already own.
These include Trade-In, where you can receive a voucher for returning an eligible pre-loved Mamas & Papas pushchair to be restored and re-sold, and our Valet & Service, which provides a professional deep clean and safety check to help extend the life of your pushchair.
Supporting Oxfam Together
Our support for Second Hand September doesn’t stop with our customers. Throughout September, we’ll also be encouraging our teams across our stores and head office to donate their own pre-loved items and get involved with the campaign.
Whether you’re clearing out clothes your little one has outgrown, shopping for a professionally reconditioned pushchair or using one of our Loved for Life services, there are plenty of ways to get involved and help give pre-loved products another life this Second Hand September 2026.
