✨Thank You ✨

We’ve been quiet over the Christmas period, working our way through referrals & sorting donations.

We want to express our gratitude to everyone who donated toiletries, baby clothing and all essentials over December & January. We couldn’t do this without you. 🩵

We’ve blessed over 220 newborn starter packs to women, babies and their families in Wigan since we’ve started. Together, we’re making a difference one Moses basket at a time. ♥️
