✨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. ♥️

Life at Early Essentials Wigan has been busy behind the scenes, and we’re so grateful for all the continued support.

Over the past few months, we’ve continued to provide Moses baskets filled with essential items to new mums in need across Wigan. We’re now proud to say we’ve supported 175 families, each one a reminder of why we do what we do 🎉
We couldn’t have done it without our incredible team & support from you guys. So Thank you, for the big and the small. We’re so grateful 🩵

✨ Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing the team behind Early Essentials Wigan and sharing how you can get involved – whether that’s through donations, volunteering, or simply helping us spread the word.

We’re Early Essentials Wigan. You will find us at Community Grocery Wigan, at the home of Way. We provide Moses baskets filled with all the essentials mothers need to welcome their new bundle of joy into the world: including baby clothing, nappies and toiletries.

We work with Health and Social Care professionals and other agencies to reach those who are most in need. Our goal is to give a helping hand to new mums who are in desperate need of even the most basic supplies.

We have been supporting families in Wigan for just over a year and we have been able to bless 132 families with our baskets. Keep an eye on our page as we start to introduce our team and how you can be involved.
