We are a local community project, helping Island families in need with baby, toddler and older siblings essentials.
Due to Covid-19 and the vulnerability of some of the little ones we help, we are no longer offering appointments for drop off of donations and collection of items from Baby Box. Please message us and we'll do what we can to arrange deliveries to you when we next have volunteers in your area
