02 Activities

What the charity does

Mama2Mama Baby Essentials have set up this baby bank because of direct need from local communities in SE London, with no baby banks available to provide support. Our baby bank is one of only one in Royal Borough of Greenwich. We operate in a similar manner to a food bank focusing on babies and young children, with donated items of clothing, toiletries, nappies, and any basics families in need.
