Our baby is a PramDepot Eco Baby.
Instead of buying new clothes and equipment, we have signed our baby up to become the first PramDepot Eco Baby. (This is a pilot project, developing a future strategy to make PramDepot more sustainable) This means that we are borrowing everything we need such as a buggy, cot, clothes and other essential equipment of high quality for our baby for their first year, which we will then return, washed, cleaned and as-good-as-new, to be passed on to someone else. This will impact greatly on reducing each item's carbon and water footprint. In return we have signed up to fundraise for a year; the money we raise will go towards the running costs of PramDepot. We will also become PramDepot ambassadors with an aim to spread the word to our new-found parent friends, encouraging them to donate their pre-loved baby items to PramDepot.
To keep PramDepot running they need to raise more than £50,000 a year. The rent alone is £15,000 plus the cost of running a van, their insurance, volunteer costs and other expenses. Your donations on this fundraising page will therefore be a HUGE help.
So...if you were planning on buying a gift for our baby, we would really appreciate a donation to our fundraising page instead, as we are receiving everything we need through PramDepot and we would love to do our bit to save the planet.
