Pelican Parcels takes pre-loved and new item donations for babies and children up to age 12 and redistributes these to families facing financial hardship via various existing family services in Brighton & Hove and Sussex.

We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about wanting to help local families and can help clean up and maintain our donated buggies and cots/beds using their practical skills.

A buggy offers a family freedom to get out of the house with ease. A clean and safe bed means children sleep well and are ready to learn.
