Eloise, Mary (student midwives) and Rosie (prospective midwifery student) will be running in the Inflatable 5K event in Bakewell on the 13th of September. We aim to raise £100 and donate this to Baby Basics Chesterfield.

Baby Basics Chesterfield provides practical life essentials to families with children from pre birth- 5 years, including moses basket starter packs, clothing, toys, toiletries, nappies, equipment and other essential items for children and their families across Chesterfield and the surrounding areas.

1 in 120 babies born in the UK received a moses basket from a Baby Basics Centre.

Provision of clothes enables a child to stay warm and dry as they grow, provision of toys & books to support development, provision of a pram/pushchair/sling to help a family access their community safely, provision of a cot/cot bed/toddler bed to support good and safe sleep as children grow, provision of nappies & toiletries to enable good hygiene for all the family, provision of feeding equipment and formula so no child goes hungry.

Baby basics supports families in poverty, families seeking asylum, families arriving to the UK as refugees, families fleeing domestic abuse, families fleeing trafficking & families who are homeless or in temporary accommodation.

The Chesterfield branch is a community project of St Thomas’ Church, Brampton, and the team is made up of 8 volunteers.

Please help us to reach our target so we can help Baby Basics to provide more essential resources to families needing support in Chesterfield.

Thank You,

Eloise, Mary and Rosie x
