Baby Bundles provide baby essentials to help families get the best possible start.

The Aylesbury NCT branch decided to launch the Service last July after seeing an increase in need due to the pandemic.

Bundles include items like nappies, baby wipes, blankets, baby clothes, toys and books and even include some little treats for mums.

Anyone in need the service, can contact their midwife, health visitor or local food bank for referral.

Elodie is from the Aylesbury NCT said:

"We pose no judgement at all to anybody really, we're just here to help people and give a service. I always see it as a gift to them, from us to them when they need it, because you never know anybody could be in that situation."

Elodie added that she doesn't think it's going to get better any time soon:

"Everybody financially is going to be suffering I guess for quite a few years to come. I do think it's going to be probably a national thing because we have had referrals from further than the area we normally cover, because there is such a need for it."

Due to the increase in demand Baby Bundles are also looking for more donations of baby and mum items both new or second hand in great condition.
