"Baby Basics Oldbury" works in the local community to help new mothers who are leaving hospital and have nothing for their child.
They do this by providing a starter pack which consists of a Moses basket for the child to sleep in and the essentials needed such as clothes,nappies,bedding,toys,etc they also include a few things for mom,
They are not funded by any local authorities and rely on donations to carry out their work.
I have been a volunteer with Baby Basics Oldbury since we started just over a year ago and in that time we have sent out over 200 starter packs.
As a pensioner I don't have the money available to support them as I would like but I was given a ride on the titan zip wires in Wales as a present for my 71st birthday so I have decided to use this to raise as much as I can to help with this great project.
Being afraid of heights as I am this will be quite a challenge for me but it's something I have always wanted to do and the fact that it will raise much needed funds will I hope give me the courage to do it.
