🌟 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
