Heartlands Baby Sanctuary

01/10/2026

This October, Heartlands Baby Sanctuary stands in solidarity with every woman and family affected by breast cancer.

Breast cancer can touch anyone, and that’s why regular screening and checking is so important. Early detection can make a significant difference, so please take the time to speak to a healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual.

To every woman who has walked this journey, whether you are a survivor, currently fighting, or supporting someone you love, we send you our heartfelt wishes for hope, strength, courage and a positive outcome. May you never feel alone in your journey. May there be strength on the difficult days, hope on the uncertain days, and brighter days ahead.

From all of us at Heartlands Baby Sanctuary, we are thinking of you, standing with you, and sending love to every woman affected by breast cancer.

Heritage Day at Heartlands Baby Sanctuary!

Here at Heartlands, our little ones come from all sorts of different backgrounds, cultures and traditions, and Heritage Day is all about celebrating what makes each of us unique.

So, we decided the best way to celebrate was with a little creativity, a lot of colour and… quite a bit of paint! Our toddlers and preschoolers got stuck into some fun art projects, learning through play while creating their own little masterpieces. (Some of the masterpieces may have ended up on their clothes too… )

We love watching them discover, explore and have fun while learning that our differences are something to celebrate.

Thank you to everyone who helps us give these little ones the love, care and happy moments they deserve. If you’d like to help us keep creating these special memories, a small donation can go a long way. Every bit helps! Click here to help: https://pages.momentco.io/ecI83Wn23KpSpqF

Happy Heritage Day from all of us at Heartlands!

Why does Heartlands have a Chic Boutique?

Our Chic Boutique is so much more than a little shop; it is a vital part of supporting the work we do at Heartlands Baby Sanctuary.

When you donate quality clothing, shoes, accessories, homeware and other beautiful pre-loved items, you are helping us turn something you no longer need into hope, care and support for vulnerable babies and children. And when you shop with us, every purchase helps support Heartlands Baby Sanctuary and contributes towards the ongoing costs of caring for the precious little ones entrusted to us. We are now registered to care for 30 children, ranging in the age groups from newborn – six years old.

And just in time for the warmer weather… our SUMMER STOCK has officially hit the shelves! There are gorgeous pre-loved treasures waiting to be discovered and they are priced at an absolute steal! So why not pop in, refresh your summer wardrobe, find a bargain or two, and know that every purchase is helping make a difference to little lives.

Together, our community can turn pre-loved treasures into something truly priceless - a brighter future for a little life.

Trading hours are as follows:
Mondays – Thursdays 08:30 – 16:00, Fridays 08:30 – 15:45 and Saturdays 08:30 – 13:00

SECOND CHANCES + LOVING FAMILIES = ❤️❤️❤️

Every child deserves to belong.

At Heartlands Baby Sanctuary, our work is about more than providing care. We give children a safe, loving place while working towards the most important goal; helping each child find where they truly belong.

For some, that means returning to their birth families. For others, it means finding a loving, permanent family through foster care or adoption.

And August has given us six very special reasons to celebrate. Six children have gone home.

There are always mixed emotions when a child leaves Heartlands. We miss the little faces, the cuddles and the personalities that became part of our daily lives. But above all, we celebrate knowing that six children are beginning a new chapter surrounded by family and love. This is why we do what we do.

Six children. Six new beginnings. Six reminders that every child deserves a family to call their own.

Thank you to everyone who helps make these journeys possible. It truly takes a village.
