Kent-based charity

Everyone should have the necessities when bringing a new life into the world.

We give baby essentials to families where a parent is a survivor of domestic abuse, sexual exploitation or sexual assault. Every family is referred to us by the caseworker supporting them.

Why we exist

Practical gifts, given with love and compassion

A parent leaving an abusive home often leaves with almost nothing, and no statutory service provides a cot, a pushchair or a car seat. We do. A caseworker tells us what a family needs, and we do our best to get it to them.

How it works

Referred by the people who know

A caseworker refers a family

Police, NHS, refuges, Migrant Help and other trusted partners refer the families they support.

They tell us what's needed

The specific things that family doesn't have, from a moses basket to a car seat.

We provide it, free

We check, prepare and hand over each item with care, at no cost to the family.

What we provide

The things a new baby needs

Mostly good-quality second-hand items, with some bought new. Always what a family actually needs.

  • Pushchairs
  • Moses baskets
  • Cots & cot mattresses
  • High chairs
  • Car seats
  • Breast pumps
  • Clothing
  • Toiletries

How you can help

Donate, volunteer, or simply tell someone about us. Every bit of it helps a parent give their baby a proper start.
