The Shoebox Fairies

✨ Can you help? We’re reaching out to midwives in the Chorley and St Helen’s area to support new mums in the community. We would love to partner with midwives across Chorley and St Helen’s who may want to receive our boxes filled with essential items for new mothers and their babies. Each box is carefully packed with practical essentials and a few comforting treats

If you’re part of the midwifery team—or know someone who is—we’d love to chat and see how we can collaborate 🤝

Please get in touch via message or email.
