Portsmouth mums set up new website that lets other parent sell bundles of unwanted children's items
Nicola Moss and Charmain Tyler, both 32, set-up Bundely after both having children of their own and realising how much unwanted clothing, toys and children’s items they had cluttering up their homes.
Nicola has one child, two-year-old Ruben, while Charmain has two, four-year-old Henry and two-year-old Olivia.

They were also conscious of the impacts of fast fashion on the environment and wanted to prevent waste.
Nicola said: ‘Climate change is definitely something we were conscious of. I like to shop in charity shops a lot of the time and like to find good second hand items to re-use.’
They have recently received a waste prevention community grant from Hampshire County Council of £4800 to use towards setting up their business.

Bundely users can choose from ten categories made up of clothes, shoes, toys, bedding and even maternity-wear and can choose their preferred sizes, genders and whether they would like a small, medium or a large bundle.
It is free to list on the site.
The website launched on July 17 and is now open for people to buy and sell their bundles.
