YoungPlanet facts and membership information
YoungPlanet helps families give and get children's items for free. The web app and mobile apps connect people who have useful things to pass on with people who can use them next. Families agree their own handover arrangements.
What is free, and what is optional?
YoungPlanet's community marketplace is free to use for giving and receiving children's items. A request does not guarantee an item; agree availability and handover arrangements with the person sharing.
Membership is optional. It adds family offers and 24-hour early access to newly listed items. Prepaid vouchers are separate purchases with their own terms.
The UK App Store lists membership at £1/month or £6/year. Available plans, billing periods and renewal terms are shown in your chosen store or in the web app before you subscribe. Marketplace sharing remains free.
UK App Store membership options. Checked 10 November 2026.
Current offers, exclusions, voucher fees and redemption terms are shown before a purchase. Early access does not guarantee availability. No membership is needed to give or receive community marketplace items.
Where can I find current items?
Browse current free items, including children's clothes and toys and games. Listings can change after a page is loaded. Read the description and confirm the details before travelling.
Older /items/ pages on this website are an archive. Their availability is not verified. They are separate from the current public listings in the web app.
Who is behind YoungPlanet?
YoungPlanet was co-founded by parents Jason and Emma Ash. Their family's experience of a second-hand red ride-on fire truck helped inspire the idea. Read the founders' story.

How should I interpret community and impact claims?
A listing, a request and a completed exchange are different events. A total community figure is not automatically a count of active families. We do not use these terms interchangeably or present an unsourced estimate as a current verified result. Historical figures in third-party press coverage describe their original reporting period.
For a current statistic, quotation or press enquiry, contact YoungPlanet. Our press archive links to independent coverage, with historical campaigns kept in context.
