Rapidly growing numbers of parents cannot afford nappies, clothing or cots for their babies and toddlers. In 2022 our baby bank saw a 40% rise in referrals and this year we expect even more families to turn to us for desperately needed essential items. Help us support 200 more families in 2023.

Situation
More and more families have been pushed into poverty with years of austerity followed by the COVID-19 pandemic and current cost-of-living crisis. Having a baby is all consuming, even when mum has no major financial worries. Take away financial security and there is no space to think about anything else. The heavy emotional stress of parents not being able to provide for their child’s basic needs can have a serious impact on the whole family's mental health and wellbeing.
Solution
MammaKind are the only baby bank specifically serving the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham and Bromley. We provide high quality packages of essentials tailored to family’s needs – whether it’s a bundle of items for a newborn or clothing and toiletries for a mum with toddlers. Our strong relationships with referral partners mean we’re ideally placed to complement their work, utilise their existing networks working with vulnerable families, meaning mums and babies receive holistic support.
