URGENT APPEAL - WE NEED COTS AND COT BEDS

We’re currently experiencing a huge demand for safe sleeping spaces (we’ve given out 19 in the last 3 months) and are in desperate need of cots and cot beds for local children.

If you have a cot or cot bed that:

✔️ Is less than 10 years old

✔️ Is in great condition

✔️ Has all its fittings

✔️ Has no drop sides

We would be incredibly grateful to hear from you.

Every donated cot helps ensure a child has a safe place to sleep and allows us to support families who have nowhere else to turn.

Please send us a message if you can help, or share this post with your friends and local community groups.

❤️ Thank you for helping us make sure every child has what they need to thrive.

Just a reminder of the things we currently need the most:

Prams from newborn
Cots
Clothing, coats and shoes age 2-10
Premmie clothing
Bouncer chairs
Pressure stairgates
Toys and games - especially for age 5+

Our drop off is in Hellingly - please message us.

AND a polite reminder not to donate items without letting us know first.

Today we had a number of large, used duvets left and as we don’t pass these on, we’ll have to arrange for their disposal. ☹️

We’ve provided 3 cots /cot beds and a pram this morning as part of 3 large new born bundles and have now run out of both.

Do you have either of these things you’d be willing to donate to us?

We’d also be grateful for:

Bouncer chairs
Feeding bottles
Breast pumps
Pressure stairgates
Baby carriers
Toys, puzzles and games

We’re taking donations again after the Bank Holiday. We have no cots or cot beds left and only a couple of highchairs if you have either you’d be willing to donate.

UPDATE: Our community is amazing. We’ve had multiple kind offers of bikes but a lady has stepped forward and donated funds for us to buy something new for this child. Thank you ######

We’re looking for a pre-loved bike in great condition for the 7 year old son of a Baby Bank family.

This young boy has very little and has been dreaming of one.

We have a little funding to buy one second-hand.

Please message us at Baby Bank & Beyond CIC if you have one for sale or to gift.

Our volunteer Jack and I went to do one of our favourite things today - off to Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford Family Hubs to refresh and replenish their children’s shelving.

We left new toiletries, nappy packs, sleep sacks, sun hats, books, swimwear and summer coats at Shinewater and Devonshire Family Hubs in Eastbourne.

All items are free to take. Or families can contact us if there’s something else they need and we’ll try and help if we can.
