🌟 A massive thank you to the amazing team from Lansinoh Family who joined us last Monday and helped pack an incredible 41 bundles!🎉

Each bundle includes a selection of clothing for babies aged 3–6, 6–9, and 9–12 months, plus a toothbrush and toothpaste – providing practical support and a little joy to those who need it most. Their help means we can complete referrals more quickly and focus on other important tasks. We’re so grateful!🙌

Thank you to all that donated items to help make it possible! 💛

This week we are celebrating Archive on Kirkstall road. A wonderful cafe and event space who very kindly let us drop off our baskets so that the midwives and health visitors have a central point to collect from. Since we started this arrangement earlier this year over 120 baskets have gone through this space.
Thank you to Ben, Victoria and Spencer who agreed to help us and all the staff who often help me in with them as well as handing them out to the referrers.
We appreciate you so much xx

Thank you so much to all who have donated, supported and bought us items- it is so appreciated!

Another busy morning with 7 baskets and 7 clothing bundles going out but sadly have some gaps in being able to fulfill some of the referrals fully.

This week we are short of:
*3-6 months babygrows
*baths
*0-12 months coats
*toothpaste suitable for under 12 months
*moses baskets
*moses basket stands

We currently have no *baskets* or *stands* in our storage…
If you have any or know someone who does please drop off to us! Or can you check out your local charity shop/ Facebook marketplace for us?
Please drop off to St Pauls Church, Ireland Wood, LS16 6BS. Drop off is on Sunday mornings or Monday - Thursday between 10-2. Please note they are shut for summer holidays 18-27th August (can still drop off on Sundays!)

Attached is our list of accepted items as well as clothing up to 12 months. Please only donate requested items and from our list in good clean condition. If able to sort and label clothing donations by size that would be a big help! We unfortunately don’t have space to store bulky or not listed items.

Thank you!!💛
