Children’s Storehouse collects high-quality baby & children’s items — prams, cots, safety gates, toys, clothing, bedding — and gives them free to families in crisis who are referred by a network of health & welfare professionals.
In 2024 we supported 626 children from 326 families, distributing a total of over 1,300 items of vital equipment and bags of clothing and toys.
We also run two “Stay and Play” sessions every week for referred families, where children and their carers can play and interact in a safe and friendly environment - free of charge.
