PramDepot C.I.C. is a community led organisation which recycles baby clothes and equipment for women who have no recourse to public funds or are otherwise in precarious or vulnerable positions. We accept high quality pre-loved donations from the local community and we beautifully present and deliver all the items needed by a vulnerable new mum and her baby free of charge in our Emergency Baby Boxes, providing a safe place for baby to sleep as well as all essential items needed to provide a safe start in life .
Why the community needs us
Our mission is to improve the life chances of vulnerable, disadvantaged mothers and their newborn babies in conjunction with Birth companions and other similar organisations in London. PramDepot was initially set up as an art project, to explore donation, recycling and austerity. Whether by time, labour, effort, or the objects to be recycled and distributed, there is a giver and a receiver who benefit from the exchange.
Our impact on the community We currently support around 400 vulnerable new mums and their babies each year. Due to Covid19 we now concentrate on providing Emergency Baby Boxes endeavouring to provide a safe place for the baby to sleep as well as all the essential items needed for the babies first few weeks. Through feedback from the women we support, we know that this makes a significant difference in helping them cope at this challenging time when they are even more vulnerable.
