Parent and Carer Hub

The Parent and Carer Hub provide benefit to those parents and carers in St. Ives and the surrounding area finding themselves in difficult circumstances.

They provide much needed essential items such as cots, prams, high-chairs, clothes, toys and other everyday items too.

Why they do it

There are many times in life when things can get difficult and it can affect anyone of us at any time. Whether it is financial hardships, unexpected housing of a child, homelessness or maybe escaping a place that no longer feels safe.

Parent and Carer Hub believe we all deserve to have somewhere to go for some help if those times hit us and they want to provide that service without judgement or risk.

How they work

Donations are gathered from the public which are sorted and prepared for those in need. Items are checked to make sure they are clean and in good working order.

Items that are donated but not in good enough condition or unneeded will either be redistributed or recycled.

A referral can be made to them through the community, that may be a school, doctors or other community service.  You can also refer yourself, please contact them via email on [email protected].

They will also when funds allow purchase new essential items such as bottle teats, nappies and wipes.

Who they are

They are a group of mums that decided they wanted to help have found themselves needing some help on occasion and fully understanding the situation.
