About This Event
We’ll be introducing Little Village & discussing how baby banks have a long-term role to play as community networks that can facilitate the reuse of baby kit and clothing as a positive contribution to the environment as well as building a more resilient support system for parents with young children. Focusing more specifically how, right now, they’re on the frontline of the cost-of-living crisis, supporting families in desperate need of essentials.
About Little Village
Little Village supports families with babies and children under five living in poverty across London.
We run a baby bank network, collecting, sorting, and passing on pre-loved clothes and equipment. Parents are also supported by our dedicated signposting and guidance team, who offer advice and links to other services. In addition, we work with families to share their stories and campaign to fix the systems that trap them in poverty.
