02 Activities

What the charity does

We are an emergency service providing Moses basket starter packs for the most vulnerable pregnant women unable to provide for their babies directly after birth. The women are referred to EE via a 'referring Agency' and we only provide a basket to referring Agency staff if the 'public benefit' criteria are met. Baskets act as baby's safe place to sleep and are filled with Mum and baby essentials.
