ForeverAfter.store’s "Give a Little Magic" Initiative

ForeverAfter.store’s "Give a Little Magic" Initiative

As a mum of two, I understand the excitement and joy that events like World Book Day bring to our children.

But I also know the challenges many families face - whether it’s the financial strain of buying costumes or the pressure to create something magical.

This year, we want to make it easier for families to share the magic on our own little "rail of magic" within the store. Here, outgrown costumes can find new homes and bring joy to other children. By giving these costumes a second life, we can help ease the burden on parents while embracing sustainability and reducing waste.

How You Can Help:

Starting this Saturday 25th January, we’re inviting families to donate gently used, outgrown costumes to our Castleford store. To ensure the magic continues, we kindly ask that all donations meet the following guidelines:

  • Costumes should be child-sized only.
  • Items must be washed, clean, and in good condition, ready for their next little adventurer.
  • We welcome:
    • Princess Dresses – For little royals dreaming of enchanted castles. 👑
    • Hero Costumes – Perfect for young superheroes ready to save the day. 🦸
    • World Book Day Themes – From classic characters to modern favourites. 📚
    • Magical Costumes – Fairies, wizards, and more! ✨

What Happens Next:

  1. Drop off your donations at our Castleford store during opening hours.
  2. We’ll carefully inspect and organise the items to ensure they’re ready for new adventures.
  3. Families in need can pick up costumes for free or leave a small donation to the Yorkshire Cancer Research via our Yorkshire Three Peaks walk funding page, helping to spread the joy while supporting a great cause.

Why It Matters:

This initiative is about more than just costumes - it’s about community, kindness, and sustainability. By sharing your pre-loved outfits, you’re helping other families create magical memories, reducing waste, and making a meaningful impact. Together, we can make these cherished moments accessible to everyone.

A Few Things to Remember:

  • Only clean, washed costumes will be accepted to ensure they’re ready for their next magical moment.
  • Donations will be used to bring smiles to children in our community, so let’s keep the magic alive by sharing costumes in their best possible condition.

Thank you for joining us in "Giving a Little Magic" this year. Your generosity means the world, and together, we can make a difference - one costume at a time. 💫

Thanks
