Baby Basics
Since 2009, Baby Basics has been supporting new mothers and families who are struggling to meet the financial and practical burden of looking after a new baby, working alongside a wide range of frontline health and social care professionals.
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. The aim is to help these mothers practically and generously, demonstrating the love of God through the charity’s care.

The Besom in Sheffield
The Besom provides a bridge between those who want to give money, time, skills or things, and those who are in need. It ensures that what is given is used effectively.
The Besom in Sheffield was formed out of a desire to see the church in Sheffield engage more actively with those living on the margins. Its core team, made up of members of different churches, meets weekly to plan activities. It has two van runs a week to collect and deliver furniture. It also organises decorating and gardening projects for members of local churches.
Maybe your midweek community could contact Besom to arrange to decorate or do gardening for someone needing help in Sheffield?
