Little Village
Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. Via our network of baby banks we pass on loved goods from one family to another – clothes, toys and equipment – so that many more babies and young children have the essential things they need to thrive.
Families either visit a Little Village hub, or items are packed with care and delivered to their home. But it doesn’t stop there. We also connect families into a wider network of support, helping them to build and extend their own ‘village’. And we raise our voices for change; sharing the stark realities of too many children’s lives in London.
If you are experiencing hardship, have a child under 5 and live in inner London, you can ask your midwife, health visitor, doctor, school or local Children’s Centre for a Little Village referral. You can find out more at www.littlevillagehq.org/make-a-referral.
Little Village can provide, and regularly need donations of:
- clothes for 0-5s
- cots, Moses baskets, & bedding
- towels, bibs & muslins
- play mats & bouncy chairs
- feeding equipment
- highchairs
- stair gates
- buggies
- nappies & toiletries
- toys & games
Check the website www.littlevillagehq.org/donate-stuff for donation sessions and locations, and what items they are currently accepting.
