We will provide baby bundles for needy underprivileged families with new babies who are experiencing difficulties such as illness, unemployment or homelessness. These baby bundles will contain warm baby clothing, blankets and essential equipment such as nappies. We will also provide information about managing difficulties in children, such as toilet training, sleep and behaviour difficulties by loaning out books and other resources through our toy library, and will ensure that the toys we provide to children through the library are safe and attractive to ensure that families in crisis are keen to continue to attend our service with their children.

Many of the families who seek help from our service are experiencing major crises and therefore are not always able to give their children the care and attention they need. Difficulties such as low and unstable income, unemployment and family emergencies mean that families can struggle to manage children's behaviour issues and to provide essential equipment for their children. Providing warm baby clothes, blankets and equipment as well as loaning out toys and vital parenting information will equip parents with the skills and resources to ensure their children have a better chance of growing up in a happy, well-resourced home.
