We are a non-profit baby charity committed to helping families in need by providing essential baby and children's items. We collect donations of new and gently used baby items such as clothing, diapers, baby equipment from individuals, local businesses, and community organisations mostly in the Reading and Wokingham area. These items are then gifted through referrals received from our partners.
