We have a special request for our Baby Basics Doncaster community… 💛

We’re looking for a triple buggy to help us with the work we do supporting local families.

A family is awaiting to brith of their triplets, so we’re hoping someone in our wonderful community might have one they no longer need, or know someone who does.

If you have a triple buggy tucked away that you’d be happy to donate, or if you know a business or organisation that might be able to help, we’d absolutely love to hear from you!

Please send us a message if you can help, or share this post to help us reach someone who might have just what we need. 🥰

You never know who in your network might be able to make a real difference.

Thank you, as always, for being part of our Baby Basics Doncaster journey. 💛

🧴 Could you help us stock our hygiene essentials? 💛

At Baby Basics Doncaster, we’re so fortunate to receive wonderful support from The Hygiene Bank, which helps us provide essential hygiene products to the families we support.

However, with referrals continuing to come in, we’d also love to draw on the kindness of our own local community to help us keep these essential items available for the families who need them. 💛

We’re currently looking for donations of:
soap and flannels
nappy cream
baby lotion
baby top to toe wash
cotton wool
wipes
deodorant
Adult tooth brush and paste
adult shampoo

Even one or two items can make a difference, and every donation helps us support local families with some of those everyday essentials that can be difficult to afford when money is tight.

If you’re able to donate, or know a local business that might be happy to help, we’d be so grateful. Please send us a message for details of how to donate.

Thank you for continuing to support Baby Basics Doncaster and the families in our community. Every little bit really does help. 🥰

💛 A little update from Baby Basics Doncaster 💛

Well, it’s been a little quiet over here! 🙈 Our last post was back at the end of July, when we took a little break for the summer, but behind the scenes things have been very busy!

Since reopening in late August, we’ve already completed 50 referrals for families in our local community. 💛

Every referral represents a family who needs a little extra support, and we feel so privileged to be able to help provide essential items for these babies during what can be a really difficult time.

We know we haven’t been very active on here lately, but we’re back and looking forward to sharing more of what we do, the difference your support makes, and the ways you can get involved.

As always, thank you to everyone who supports Baby Basics Doncaster, whether you donate, volunteer, share our posts or simply help spread the word. We couldn’t do this without you. 🥰

Here’s to keeping our little community supported, one family at a time. 💛

UPDATE - Thank you to whoever purchased a pack of towels from the wishlist. We will have enough for this weeks referrals!

💛 Can You Help Us Restock Our Towel Supply? 💛

https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/38TLZ5WE638XR?ref_=wl_share

We're reaching out to our amazing community, because right now, Baby Basics Doncaster has completely run out of towels. Every towel donated helps us provide a warm, practical essential to local babies and families who need a little extra support.

If you're able to help, we'd be so grateful if you could purchase a towel from our Wish List. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference and helps us continue supporting families across our community. 💙

A massive thank you to everyone who responded to our appeal last week! We asked for boys clothes, and your response has completely blown us away. Not only did you show up with gorgeous clothes, but we’ve also had so many extra essentials donated as can be seen in these photos.

We are incredibly grateful to our wonderful community for looking out for local families.

A special shout-out this week to B&Q, Kylie and the Wheatley Hills community, Eunice, Phil, and the Tickhill community, alongside every single person who dropped items off. Your kindness makes a huge difference to the families we support at Baby Basics Doncaster. Thank you all so much! 💙

We've had quite a few new followers recently so thought it would be a good idea to share with you all some more information about us.

Baby Basics is a national organisation with a network of centres that are all run by local church or community groups. They are supported by the local community to support families who are in need of a little extra help at a very vulnerable time in their lives.
Baby Basics Doncaster is the Doncaster branch of Baby Basics UK and we are based at and run by SMC - Sprotbrough Methodist Church

We support vulnerable families across the whole of Doncaster by providing a moses basket filled with items such as bedding, clothing, nappies, wipes, clothes and a newborn soft toy as well as toiletries for mum. We always ensure that baskets are packed beautifully and look like a gift.

All of our baskets are given out via referral from professionals and last year we gave out 261 baskets, with demand growing each year.

We also give out other items such as prams/pushchairs, baby baths and bouncy chairs on request and we are part of South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority Beds for Babies Scheme ensuring that every child in Doncaster has a safe place to sleep.

Baby Basics Doncaster is run by Sarah, our Baby Basics Coordinator, and a team of volunteers who help to sort donations and put together our baskets.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
You can view details of what items we take at https://baby-basics.org.uk/centre/doncaster and we will also post on here if there are items we are in particular need of. Items can be dropped off at Sprotbrough Methodist Church on Wednesdays in term time between 10am and 12pm.

If you are able to, you can make a small donation towards our running costs at the following link: https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QIWXU933

You can also help by liking and sharing our posts and telling people about us. If your organisation looks for charities to support please do consider us. Get in touch and we'd be happy to chat more about our work, or even come and give a talk to your group.

IF YOU NEED OUR SUPPORT

If you are in need of our support, please talk to your midwife, health visitor or other professional that works with you as we work on a referral basis.
