Swansea Baby Basics

Swansea Baby Basics Baby Basics provides clothing, toiletries and other essentials to families in need. For some these are the only items they have for their child.

We work with health professionals to give parcels including but not limited to: teenage mums, people seeking asylum and women fleeing domestic abuse and trafficking. Baby Basics was founded in 2009 at the King's Centre church in Sheffield, we are now operating this scheme in Swansea. Baby Basics works with midwives, health visitors and other professional bodies to provide starter packs for those i

n need. We can help vulnerable groups such as teenage mums, asylum seekers, and women fleeing domestic violence and trafficking,
Our Moses baskets provide a safe bed to sleep in and are packed full of toiletries such as nappies, wipes, maternity pads, as well as blankets, towels and baby clothes. We believe that Baby Basics shows God's love in action. In order to refer a client to us, please contact us using the email address on this page. Leave a message with a name and contact details and we will get in touch. If you would like to donate items you can bring them to St Thomas Parish office in the Church Hall, St Thomas Library. Please see the separate list of what we can and cannot accept. You can also help by praying for the project and the volunteers; telling your friends about Baby Basics; knitting blankets, cardigans, and other lovely things for newborns; or contributing financially. Baby Basics is part of the community projects from St Thomas Swansea, and is based in St Thomas Church, Lewis Street, SA1 8BP.

Ready for the start of a new chapter!

After launching Swansea Baby Basics in 2017, our centre leader Rachel is handing the key over to our new leader Marisa. Marisa will be a familiar sight to many of you as she is already at the front line through her work at the café. Her regular presence at the church puts her in the perfect position to continue into the next stage.

Our work will continue as normal, with both donations and referrals following the same system. The only difference is that Marisa will now be at the end of the phone.

If you're popping in please make her welcome!
