Bundles of Joy

What is the purpose of Bundles of Joy?

Bundles of Joy is a baby, children and family charity based in Beverley supporting those in need in Hull East Yorkshire and the surrounding area.

The purpose of Bundles of Joy is to relieve poverty and support disadvantaged families through providing clothes, toys, prams, cots, other baby equipment, toiletries and nappies.  We are achieving this through receiving donations from the local community throughout Hull and East Riding, and passing them on to families in need. These families can be those affected by poverty, crisis, illness or domestic abuse. The Bundles of Joy service aims to:

A. Help relieve poverty for those who are disadvantaged from a financial or emotional situation. Poverty is a negative key indicator of early child development and Bundles of Joy embraces the challenge to help and meet some of the needs which will, and does, make a huge difference.
B. Support those affected by crisis which for many can be due to unforeseen circumstances or through not accessing the right help to manage on their own.
C. Offer emergency equipment when an individual finds they have had to flee domestic abuse or they have been removed from a violent situation. Often in these situations material things do matter particularly to children. We can help by supplying the right equipment to have the maximum benefit for each individual case.
D. Provide a network for health professionals to be able to get help to families who really do need it.
E. Bring communities together, The Bundles of Joy service is all about team work. We can only provide the service with the amazing donations, fundraising and help the public offer.

From very small humble beginnings the charity was launched in November 2016 and with a huge amount of donations being given there is certainly no shortage of equipment.  Bundles of Joy has now established strong links with a wide range of agencies such as Social Care, Citizens Advice Bureau, Children's Centres, Health Visitors and Housing amongst others.  These agencies are now referring families on a regular basis and enable us to pass the relevant items on to the needy families as soon as possible.

Bundles of Joy, is a unique, specialist baby charity. We are here to bridge the gap between those who have items to donate and the families who would welcome them. We collect and distribute not only baby clothing, but any baby items which can be reused, such as toys and blankets prams and Moses baskets. We also collect toys and clothing for older children which helps families manage their limited budget. We have also become known as a haven for emergency equipment and supplying many items which could not normally be accessed.

The service we provide ensures Bundles of Joy is helping the most vulnerable families in the Beverley, Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire area. As a community we are all pulling together to help make a difference.

All funding we raise through fundraising activities, donations, grants or via go fund me will go direct to the charity to ensure we can maintain the service. As volunteers we dont receive a wage so 100% of what we rasie and receive is charity funds.
