The Wakefield based charity distributes baby essentials such as clothes, nappies and prams to struggling families across the area.

The charity helps to alleviate financial worries for families through its donated items and reduces waste going to landfill by recycling pre-loved items.

Barratt Developments, the UK’s biggest housebuilder, donates up to £1,500 each month to a different charity as part of its Community Fund initiative to support the communities in which it builds.
