Lewisham Leisure Centres support Bank of Things 

The Lewisham Leisure centres are now donation points for Bank of Things. The centres across Lewisham are working with Bank of Things to provide additional donation points for people to donate toiletries and other items such as revision guides for those in need across the borough of Lewisham 

What does the Bank of Things do? 

The Bank of Things is a Young Mayors Project working in partnership with Lewisham Local aimed at Young People aged 11 to 25 living in Lewisham. Former Young Mayors have used their budgets to develop the Bank of Things to address the issue of poverty and lack of resources for young people in the borough. We now supply everyday necessities to any young person facing hardship living in Lewisham. 

Donate items to the Bank of Things 

We are looking for donations of new and unopened products including: 

Deodorant, facewash, shampoo, conditioner, pads and tampons, toothpaste, moisturisers, sun cream, scientific calculators, a4 lined refill pads, highlighters, green, black and red biros, maths sets, 30 cm rulers, clear plastic pencil cases, post it notes, revision cards and folders.  

If you have any used and unwanted revision guides for all GCSE and A level subjects, please do drop them in.  

Donations can be dropped off anytime the centres are open at the following locations 

  • Bellingham Leisure and Lifestyle Centre 
  • Forest Hill Pools 
  • Glass Mill Leisure Centre

Donations can also be made between 10am and 5pm on Monday through to Friday using the donation bins available in Unit 19 at Lewisham Shopping Centre or you can use our registry at Common Good to easily select items and they will get sent to us.
