Community Projects

Pushchair Pitstop

Our current opening times are Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays 9am-12pm, and alternate weekend days 10am-2pm.

Pushchair Pitstop is a volunteer-run – donation-based group located in St Edmunds church, Langer Road, Felixstowe. 


Everything we have is donated to us for FREE by the public, so everything is rehomed for FREE!
Pushchair Pitstop was started by Reverend Penny Brinkley, backed by Reverend Andrew Dotchin, with a simple vision in mind of helping the local community. We stock items such as buggies, nappies, milk, toys, books, games, blankets, shoes, and electricals, and our clothing size currently ranges from bump (maternity) to Adults.

We also hold several free events throughout the year. Our annual events are our Summer and Christmas parties, and they are always a hit. During these events, we host games, serve free hot food, play music, enjoy crafts, and try to raise funds through Tombola & hamper stalls.
