A HUGE thankyou to the Portsmouth Health visiting team !
What a wonderful gift and such heartfelt words from you all ❤️

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
We are sad to announce that it is time for baby basics to close its doors.
We have had a magnificent 10 years of serving families across Portsmouth and the wider fields.

We are currently completing our final referrals and in the true heart of baby basics we are sharing any spare items with other Amazing charities and family centres.

Please keep following us until end closure date to see updates of our final support packages.
We will cease to trade as baby basics in 31st October 2025

We like to send a HUGE thankyou to our regular donors, our grant providers, our knitters, all of you that have bought items from our wish lists and have been our cheerleaders from afar.

It was exciting to be the first baby bank in the city and show what could be possible.
To partner with some amazing agencies all working towards the same goal in helping to give babies and kids the best start to life.

One of the main feedback we had consistently from agencies was how families felt overwhelmed with how loved and valued they felt.
As a Christian outreach our aim is always to show love by being the hands and feet of Jesus and reaching out to those in need.

THANKYOU ALL AGAIN
