New initiative launches: Buggies for Brum
Pre-loved buggies get new homes with families who really need them.
Child poverty in Birmingham has reached crisis levels — 46% of children, over 104,000 of our residents are living in poverty. The Safe Sleep Scheme helps families with children under 5 in crisis. Current funding doesn't cover buggy/pram costs, and many professionals working with families ask for this help and support.
Buggies for Brum is asking people to donate their used buggy or pram to be refurbished and rehomed with families who really need it.
Double buggies and newborn prams are especially needed!
How it works:
Pick up of your old buggy by our partners
Storage of pre-loved awaiting refurbishment & new buggies
Checked, repaired and cleaned by Social Enterprises — ReUsers & Newbigin
Distribution to families via Baby Banks, Children's Centres, Family Hubs & hostels
