Baby Basics: Chelmsford
Baby Basics provides much needed essentials and equipment to mothers and families who are unable to provide these items for themselves; including but not limited to teenage mums, people seeking asylum and women fleeing domestic abuse and trafficking. We are a referral based service and referrals can be made by midwives, health visitors, social prescribers, social workers, local councils and charities working with vulnerable families. Items are collected from us by the referring professional and delivered to reciepts. We have no contact with the recipients of our starter packs.
