Bedding, baby clothes, nappies, toiletries and blankets going to families at the Human Trafficking Refuge, as they have very few belongings

Bedding, uniform, clothing, toys, toiletries and cleaning equipment – going to a family in poverty who have been through a really tough time

Cot with mattress, stairgate, nappies, toiletries and cleaning equipment – going to a parent who has fled a domestic violence relationship with very little. We will continue to support them

Thank you to the midwifery students who attended a conference at Bournemouth University – they collected this amazing amount of nappies, babywipes, toys, clothes and toiletries for the families we support.
