About us

Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. Via our network of a baby banks we pass on loved goods from one family to another: clothes, toys and equipment so that many more babies and young children have the essential things they need to thrive. 

Families either visit a Little Village hub, or items are packed with care and delivered to their home. But it doesn’t stop there. We also connect families into a wider network of support, helping them to build and extend their own ‘village’.

Thanks to the generous donations of loved items, precious time and money, in 2023 Little Village was able to support more than 8500 children. But the demand for help still outstripped our capacity to respond week on week. Essentials are becoming unaffordable for more and more families with babies and young children, and many are facing complete destitution.

Your support will mean that we can help as many families as possible, providing safe places for children to sleep, ways for families to get out the house such as buggies and slings, books to stimulate children's imaginations and coats to stay warm and dry.
