Pure Joy ✨

Our gorgeous Festive cards have been designed by Lizzie - The Design Dealership and are available now via our website. A pack of 6 cards is £6.00 plus P+P.

The inspiration behind the design celebrates the hopefulness, guidance and shared community support our charity provides. Baby and Mama bear on a journey, carrying the northern star like a beacon, guiding them forward, one step at a time!

Lizzie says:
“I was introduced to Mama to Mama in 2024 by Kinder Collective hey had been championing the charity and all the incredible work they do, so I was thrilled to be able to donate my time to design a festive card.” Thank you so much. ❤️

We ✨LOVE✨ this design and the meaning behind it and really appreciate Lizzie’s amazing support. A 100% of proceeds go to us at Mama to Mama.

Hello! 👋 We’ve recently had LOADS of pram & buggy donations and now our warehouse is completely full.

So we’re going to pause pram donations for a short while so we can sort getting these donations out to our families.
We REALLY appreciate your support but can’t physically store any more right now.

Thank you and we’ll let you know as soon as we can when the pram donations re-open.

Our CREATE & CHAT groups are back! 💥

Thanks to our craft guru Soni for creating these lovely craft sessions. 🫶
The first session, we explored Kumihimo (組み紐) is a traditional Japanese artform and craftwork for making braids and cords. We made a teether or tug toy, or a very hungry caterpillar going through an orange! 🐛

Last week was making a game of tic tac toe, the parents came up with any designs they wanted to, drawn onto little wooden discs, we had some amazing ones ~
all super creative! 😊🍄

These sessions are a lovely opportunity for parents and carers to enjoy being creative in a relaxed environment, while our supervised play area will allow some hands free mama time.

Our free workshops are for pregnant people and parents or carers with children under 5 that Mama to Mama support and are booked in advance.
If you know anyone isolated or struggling financially, you can contact Jen for more details [email protected]

These sessions are happening weekly at a new location - thank you CrescendoUs for the use of their space at the Elektra Rooms.

We know new groups can be intimidating, so let us know if you’d like a helping hand or have any questions.

We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Vickie Cole and the incredible FitMum community based in London.

At the end of August, a group of women...all from different walks of life came together to take on the 13 Bridges of London and raised an incredible £955 for the children & families we support. With this money we’ve been able to support 40 children with beds and gorgeous wooden toys & books for Christmas.

We cannot thank the FitMum community enough for their amazing support. It honestly means so much to us. 🥹

As Gia says - if you are part of a fitness group, or a team at work looking for a fun challenge to take on for charity, get in touch with us at Mama to Mama!! We’ve got loads of ideas for fundraising partnerships to help raise vital funds to keep us going in 2027.

Just drop us a DM or an email
and let’s chat! 💬

Big up to our amazing cot building volunteers!!! 💪 We check every cot that comes into the warehouse before it goes out to a family in need. This exercise can take hours but it’s really important to check everything is in working order.

We’ve had lots of amazing cot deliveries recently, from our Amazon wishlist (link in bio! 😉) and preloved cots too! We really appreciate your donations so much! Thank you 🥹🫶

👉 We have one request 🙏 PLEASE can you check your donated cots have all the parts and screws required to pass on ~ sometimes there are items missing which then means we need to source or it can mean we can’t pass them onto our families. Also we cannot accept second hand mattresses. 👈

Being able to provide cots and toddler beds for safe sleeping is vital to ensure babies aren’t in make shift beds or even sleeping on blankets on the floor. This is the reality a lot of our families face and it’s heart breaking. 💔

If you can donate to us please email [email protected] ~ or if you’d like to donate a new cot or bed to us simply hit the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2R33YP0ITACXU and order from our Amazon wishlist, it gets delivered straight to us. Thank you 🙏

We’re so grateful to Our Voice Our Journey CIC for gifting us copies of the beautiful children’s book ‘This Is Not Yours To Carry’. It’s so well written and the illustrations are gorgeous.
Written by Sarah Brown with Matt Brown and illustrated by their eldest daughter, Oceana Olsen, this empowering story follows Tai and children like him as they learn that some burdens are not theirs to carry.

This book offers valuable opportunities for conversation, reflection and emotional support as young people navigate the challenges of parental offending.

Thank you, Our Voice Our Journey, for providing such thoughtful resources. We’re looking forward to sharing them with the children and families we support.
