Baby bank support
Baby Bank Alliance
Powered by local communities, over 300 baby banks across the UK provide a vital lifeline for families in all sorts of challenging circumstances. They create warm, caring places for families to access equipment, products, clothes and toys for their children. We have formed a national Baby Bank Alliance to ensure that all baby banks can access the funding, goods, volunteers and practical support they need, to be the most effective they can be. We want to bring these independent baby banks together with one voice, to boost the impact of the incredible support they offer and share the stories of the families they help.
Little Village
Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. Via our network of baby banks, we pass on loved goods from one family to another – clothes, toys and equipment – so that many more babies and young children have the essential things they need to thrive.
Families either visit a Little Village hub, or items are packed with care and delivered to their home. We also connect families into a wider network of support. Thanks to the generous donations of loved items, precious time and money, since we launched in 2016, Little Village has supported more than 32,000 children. Our values of love, solidarity, thriving and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do.
Baby Basics
Baby Basics is a volunteer-led project aiming to support new mothers and families who are struggling to meet the financial and practical burden of looking after a new baby. Starting in Sheffield, now there is an ever increasing network of Baby Basics centres across the country each staffed by a committed team of volunteers. Baby Basics provides much needed essentials and equipment to mothers and families who are unable to provide these items for themselves; including but not limited to teenage mums, people seeking asylum and women fleeing domestic abuse and trafficking.
