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. Their website can be found at: https://baby-basics.org.uk/

2020 has been a difficult year for so many people across the world and in the UK we have seen so many more people struggle. Throughout 2020 Baby Basics Centres across the UK have continued to support so many vulnerable families. Their teams of staff and volunteers have truly gone above and beyond to ensure that 100% of the referrals received have been fulfilled.

Baby Basics have provided families with jam-packed moses baskets full of everything a new mum needs for baby, and hundreds of bundles of toys, warm clothing and bedding and more. So many children have been given a safe space to sleep, warm clothes to wear, toiletries to keep them clean and parents have had a little of the worry and stress of family life lifted.

As a student midwife I have become aware of Baby Basics and the excellent service they provide to families in the local area. I am running 10k on Saturday 16th October to raise money for this charity and I would love your support! Any amount of money is appreciated and I will be updating this page to let you all know how my training is going.
