The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Health visiting teams at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) have been working alongside local charity Baby’s Basket, supporting parents who are struggling through financial hardship or other difficulties, with essentials for their new baby.
Ed Jones, a trustee of the charity, said: “Baby’s Basket receives donations of gently used baby clothes, Moses baskets and bedding from parents who no longer need them.
“We encourage healthcare professionals and welfare agencies throughout Lincolnshire to request a basket on behalf of any parent who could benefit, then collect and deliver it in good time for baby’s arrival. We would love to hear from parents who wish to donate items they no longer need.”
Baby’s Basket is looking for volunteers to help collect and deliver baskets.
