Worcester Welly Library
Worcester Welly Library is a ‘not for profit’ organisation set up
in July 2015 with the aim of loaning wellies to parents in need so
that they can provide the appropriate footwear for their child
(ren). The Welly Library accepts donations from members of
the public, service users and volunteers themselves.
How it works
Donating wellies
If you have a pair of wellies that you would like to donate to
Worcester Welly Library (WWL), please get in touch
with Lottie Smith by phone, email or via the Facebook
page, who will be happy to collect them at a time convenient for you.
As a thank you for donating to WWL, you may borrow your
next pair of wellies at the reduced cost of £1.
Once wellies have been accepted by WWL, they are machine
washed at 40 degrees, cleaned and checked in order to
make them ready for lending.
If WWL has an excessive amount of wellies in a particular
size and a shortage in another, some pairs may be sold in
order to raise funds to buy others that WWL need.
We are happy to accept all children’s shoe sizes, but particularly up to the end of Key Stage 1 as many children
take part in Forest School and so often need an extra
pair at school.
Borrowing wellies
The selection of wellies available are displayed on the Facebook page in the ‘Wellies’ photo album, together with
the size. If you would like to borrow a particular pair,
please check with WWLto see if they are available to
