Growbaby offers essential support and practical help to families with babies and children under 5 years.
Growbaby Sessions run Mondays 10 - 11:30am
Families are referred by their professional support network (usually health or education services) and then invited to attend Growbaby. Families attending can choose clothing for their children from our new Growbaby boutique, absolutely free of charge and relax and enjoy the free coffee and cakes. The small team are available for a chat and offer advice in regards to any additional support, if needed.
"You very kindly gave me and my children a package of clothes and toys as well as nappies and other things. Even some treats for me! I wanted to say thank you as it was very kind and the children were delighted with their items! I am very grateful for the support you provided to me at a very difficult time”

Looking after little ones can be a challenge, especially when faced with an unexpected crisis or on limited income. Restore creates a safety net of support so that families are not alone.
Talk to a Referral Agency about your situation
1.
The Referral Agency will need information on ages of children and contact details, this is to ensure that the best items are provided for your family.
If it’s the right thing for your family, you’ll be informed by your referrer on how to access Growbaby.
2.
For clothing and toiletry referrals:
If your child is 0-24 months, you can access Growbaby once every three months (max 4x per year)
If your child is aged 2-5 years, you can access Growbaby twice a year.

Growbaby sessions run on Mondays 10 - 11:30am.
Growbaby sessions offer time to talk with one of the team, to share your experiences and get extra help or be directed, to other local services that might be able to help more. This is all totally voluntary and just a way for us to support you. You’ll be offered free refreshments, and there will be toys for your children to play with while you chat.

INFO FOR PROFESSIONALS
Donations
We rely on regular donations to enable us to run this project. Please see our donations page for details of our next donation day and a list of the things we can and cannot accept.
Please ensure any donated items are “like new” i.e. what you would want to give as a gift. We believe this high quality restores dignity to families that are already struggling and gives a message of love, hope and respect.
Don’t forget one of the most useful ways to support Growbaby is through financial support (it helps us buy essentials that we have run out of week to week, like that odd size of children’s clothes, cot mattresses or a buggy). You can fundraise or support this project specifically.
