Request: Strollers from a wishlist

This week, we’d like to help clear the waiting list of a Baby Bank in Maidenhead.

The number of people needing support has been increasing and they have run out of strollers. There are 8 families on the waiting list and this number will only go up.

The families who use the Baby Bank are usually referred to them by social workers, midwives, teachers and health visitors. They're people living in poverty, families affected by homelessness, children in emergency foster placements, refugees, families affected by fire or flooding, or escaping domestic violence.

We’d love to clear their waiting list to help make sure the children waiting for strollers can have them as quickly as possible. We'd also like to give them some extras so they can meet demand.

What We Need

1. Donations: We'll use 100% of your donations to provide strollers (and once we've bought those we will buy other things the baby bank needs). You can donate online or by text using the details below. (please note, when you donate, you can choose not to pay fundraising fees by putting the little slider to the left)

2. Gifts from a wishlist: We've set up an Amazon wishlist with some strollers and other items. .To buy a gift, just click on the link below and choose your gift. When you checkout, tick 'this is a gift', and select the 'gift registry address' for delivery. It will be sent directly to the baby bank.

3. Kind messages: To send a kind message for the families, you can write a message in the form below and we will pass it along (your contact details won't be shared). Or you can post a message to: 52 Lives (Life 529, PO Box 3154, Reading, RG1 9AT)

(If you have a good quality second-and stroller to donate, please visit The Baby Bank's website to find out how you can donate it directly to them).
