Community Foundation Ireland / RTE Toy Show Appeal – Welcome packs for new-born children.

As part of the Toy Show Appeal, we received funding to provide Welcome packs for newborn children. We provide essential items for both the parent and child (Clothing, Toiletries, cribs, etc.). It is common to lose possessions when experiencing homelessness and fleeing domestic violence, so we must equip pregnant people with essential items to help them care for themselves and their new babies.
