Family2Family collects donations of baby and children's clothing and essential items and redistributes them to families in need in East Sussex and surrounding areas.
Referrals made by professionals on behalf of families in need of support. The items requested are then put together into a carefully prepared bundle, specific to the needs of the child(ren) and family. The professional is advised when the bundle is ready for collection, and they deliver it to the family.
Through the simple act of promoting redistribution and reuse, Family2Family gifts families in need of support with essential items for their children including prams, cots, toddler beds, clothing, toiletries, bedding and toys. Receiving these items provides an immediate improvement to their situation, provides hope, and often demonstrates kindness to some who have seldom experienced it. In addition there has been feedback from professionals who have recognised an improvement in parental mental health and wellbeing on receiving a Family2Family bundle, which in turn, improves their ability to focus on other aspects of parenting and life
