WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP.
Right now, our shelves, tubs and storage areas are running critically low. In some categories, they're almost empty.
We're urgently seeking donations of quality preloved and new children's items, with a particular need for winter clothing for children aged 6+, cot and bassinette linen, and new toiletries.
Every day, health and welfare professionals refer children to Big Group Hug who need clothing, shoes, books, baby equipment, toiletries, bedding, and other everyday essentials. But right now, we're struggling to keep up with demand.
If you've been meaning to clear out the cupboard or pass on items your children have outgrown, now is the time.
Please note: We do not need portacots or baby baths at the moment.
Even if you don't have items to donate, you can still help. We're asking if you can:
• Share this post to your stories
• Send it to your WhatsApp groups
• Tag a friend who may be able to help
• Like and comment to help more people see it
The more people who see this, the more children we can support.
