Unfortunately we're having to ask for your help again 😢

At the moment we’re receiving so many referrals from midwives for unborn babies.
We can't imagine how hard this must be,... to have to confide in your midwife that you’re struggling to afford essential items for your baby through no fault of your own.
We,of course, can't go into details, but can assure you each referral is heartbreaking 💔
With so many referrals, we're running out of items.

We're asking if you can help by donating any of the listed items below either pre-loved or new:

* Prem/small baby clothes, sleepsuits and vests in Boys, Girls and Unisex
* Newborn clothes, sleepsuits, vests and coats in Boys, Girls and Unisex ( the most needed is girls)
* Bedding for moses baskets to include fitted sheets, cellular blankets, blankets and knitted blankets
* Baby Baths, Baby Towels ( no Angel care bath supports)
* Slings from Newborn ( no wraps)
* Bouncy chairs
* Electric Sterilisers and electric breast pumps
* Pushchairs from Newborn ( we can't take any car seats)
* Playmats from Newborn ( these need to be in a clean condition please )
* Changing mats ( no rips or stains)

We can only take the items listed above.

If you have these items and would love to donate to make a difference, please get in touch.
Just send us a private message on our social media platforms or WhatsApp/text on 07769 355219
Or email [email protected]

If you haven't got any of these items to donate but would still like to help then we welcome any new items through Amazon or any online shops
These can be sent direct to our unit - Gloucestershire Bundles Unit 2, Whitworth Court, Baird Road Waterwells Gloucester GL2 2DG.

Your support for our charity means the world.
Thank you x

Perfect if you’ve never made jewellery before. After learning the basics of working with jump rings, you will make two pairs of simple chainmail earrings including the mind-bending Mobius ball weave.

Then the fun really begins as you get to design and create your own bracelet with a strong magnetic clasp and matching earrings from a selection of semi precious gemstones, glass and acrylic beads. All materials are included and all tools are provided.
