Baby Basics Hinckley
We are based at Hinckley Methodist Church, Albert Road, Hinckley Le10 1Pl.
We are a small team of volunteers who work with many agencies including health visitors, midwives and foodbanks.
We are passionate about supporting our community and providing families who may be struggling with everything they need on the arrival of a new baby.
About Us
Baby Basics Hinckley opened in January 2022. We work alongside professionals who refer families to us that may be struggling and vulnerable. We are able to provide moses baskets, clothes for baby, toiletries for Mum and Baby, baby baths, toys, books and gifts to help the family prepare and care for their newborn baby . We have a wonderful team of volunteers who sort out our donations, and pack up our lovely referrals for the families.
We are delighted to be part of the Baby Basics Charity which started in 2009 in Sheffield. The charity now has over 55 centres around the UK who help support thousands of fanmilies. Did you know 1 in 120 babies born in the UK recieve a Moses Basket from Baby Basics!
We are open for donations on Tuesday 10-12 and Thursday 12.30 – 2.30pm.
