Around 10 women a month in York are going into labour without essential hygiene items like maternity pads, shower gel, toothpaste or pants.

We are creating Birth Care Bags so that every mum-to-be can have the essential items they need to give birth hygienically and with a starter pack for their new baby too.

Each bag costs £20 but any amount will help. Please donate what you can.

See the image gallery for items going into the bags & what your donation can buy
