It was lovely at our June meeting to welcome Hannah from Baby Basics MK come to tell us all about the charity and its work in Milton Keynes.<\/p>\n

Like us, Baby Basics has been supporting MK families for 10 years having started up in 2015.\u00a0 They have one part time employee and at present have 27 volunteers and are classed as an emergency service.<\/p>\n

Baby Basics support some of the most vulnerable families with children up to 6 years old in the MK area, working in partnership with midwives, health visitors, children\u2019s centres, social workers, and other professionals to provide help when it\u2019s needed most.\u00a0 Mums and families are referred to their service and\u00a0 todate in 2025 they have given our 400 kits and worked with 500 families this year.\u00a0 Since Covid they have seen a significant increase in referrals.<\/p>\n

Baby Basics MK with help from the community and local businesses reuse high-quality second-hand and new items, creating gift packages filled with essentials for families with children aged 0\u20136.\u00a0 Hannah brought one of these new born baby start up kits\u00a0 along for us to see.\u00a0 They consist of a moses basket full of essential equipment like baby food\/formula, bedding, clothes, toys, feed bottles, toiletries.<\/p>\n

They are based in Galley Hill where people can drop off donations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was lovely to hear from Hannah the vital work they are doing to support vulnerable families in MK and members presented Hannah with a cheque donation and a number of items, some made by members to be used for the moses baskets.<\/p>\n
