Birthday and baby products going to a young desperate mum

New Start package gone to a familly who have been staying at the refuge and have now been re-housed

Lovely Feedback received from a Social Worker following a generous donation of baby equipment. Firstly, she couldn’t believe that someone had donated it all for free! “Hi ladies, I collected baby items from ******** today and I am completely overwhelmed by her kindness. I feel compelled to message you now rather than email from work tomorrow. The generosity she has shown is more than I or the family who the items are going to would ever expect. Thank you for bringing really lovely, lovely people together to help others. – Bournemouth children’s social care.” We wouldn’t be able to help all the families without your support. So thank you to you all for “liking” our page and following our work.

So far this month, our referrals have included: – Pushchair for a mum who is in financial difficulties, stairgates for a family to keep their child safe, food shops x 5 for families in poverty, and unable to feed their children, single bed, chest of drawers and dining table & chairs for a mum and daughter who had just been re-housed; a cooker for a mum of 3 who was unable to cook for her children due to lack of facilities; bedding, sheets and towels for family who have just been re-housed; highchair for young mum; vouchers for clothing and organised new uniform for a family who had a house fire; a fridge freezer and microwave for a mum in poverty; school uniform for a child in poverty; request from the Human Trafficking Refuge for baby clothing, play mat, toys, 2 x pushchairs and a cot bed mattress; and a tumble dryer – from a paramedic visit due to damp condition and child’s respiratory condition.

Amazing donation of baby equipment that was collected by a Social Worker yesterday for a new mum in desperate need. Thank you
