Jane Robb, our Project Coordinator, was interviewed on @BBCEssex about the recent fire which impacted our building. Here’s the article related to this: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… @RCBillericay @LoveBillericay @BillericaySP @AndyKRobb

Sadly the building where Baby Basics Billericay operates had a fire this week. Everyone is safe but they need to replace their stock asap to keep supporting families. If you can please support them by buying something from their Amazon wishlist here ow.ly/oYgX50R9SpZ

Thank you so much for your overwhelming support as we process the loss after the fire two days ago at the Community Hub on Billericay High street.

If you are super prepared and want to bring your donation along , volunteers will be outside the Community Hub during the Christmas market. Thanks again for your continued support, we couldn't do this without you!

If you would like to participate in our reverse advent calendar challenge, then please take a look at the attached photos for more details! We will also be at the Billericay Christmas Market on Sunday 3rd December in Billericay High Street.

Hoping it's not too early to mention the 'C' word! ❄️🎄🎁🎅 With Christmas just round the corner, we wanted to share with you our ‘Acts of Kindness for Advent’ project this year.

Jane (our centre leader), was invited to speak to ‘The Outwood Common Tenants and Residents Group’ about the work of Baby Basics in their local community. We feel very honoured to be doing all of this for those who need a little boost right now. (3/3)

Which will go far to help so many ladies expecting a baby soon. 💙 We were really pleased to be able to send out this beautiful bundle of goodies to an expectant mum this morning via their health visitor. 💗 As if that wasn’t exciting enough..(2/3)

We had such a busy morning at Baby Basics Billericay today! 💗 Firstly, we are so grateful to @Waitrose and specifically, Julie Fiske (the Waitrose Billericay Community Lead), who really champions our small project. Today, they gave us a cheque for £500 (1/3)

Due to the high volume of donations received on Friday (THANK YOU!) we will be closed to donations throughout April. However, we are ALWAYS open for referrals! Please contact us via email: billericaybabybasics@gmail.com

We desperately need Moses basket mattress covers (our supplies are rapidly depleting!) and bath towels in good condition & lots more muslins! Hopefully you wonderful lot will be able to help us out! We'll be at our hub tomorrow Friday if you are able to donate. Thank you so much!

Billericay Baby Basics was represented at the Volunteer Awards last night! We were nominated in the voluntary group category. We couldn't be prouder of our team. Thank you for all your support. facebook.com/reel/200953255…

Infact we can’t accept anymore knitted items or blankets. We just don’t have enough space to store them. Thank you for understanding.

For this coming week, we have edited our list to show what we can accept. A priority item we desperately need are muslins. As you can see from the photo, pleeeeease do not send us any more hats for a while! We are over flowing!!

We just want to thank those of you who donated this week for following our new guidance and bringing your donations already washed and pre sorted by items and sizes! It made life so much simpler for our volunteers. 🥰

This is a list of everything we can accept on a weekly basis. We are open this Fri. 9:30-10:30am. Please read the attached new requirements for 2023. For the time being, we can’t accept knitted items - we are overflowing! 🙏🏻 Many Thanks, The Baby Basics Billericay Team.

Another 3 baskets given out today and a sibling bag, bringing our January total to 6 baskets and 2 sibling bags. Total overall 110 baskets and 13 sibling bags. Thanks for your continued support 😊
