Welcome to Oxford Baby Bank

If you have any of the items listed below that you wish to donate, please email us to organise a drop off at the Methodist church on a Wednesday morning, oxfordbabybank@gmail.com.   

We are always seeking newborn to 6 months clothing (especially babygros), Moses baskets, cots, cot-beds (we can only take new mattresses), sparkling clean buggies (we cannot store travel systems with bassinet, as they take up too much room, so buggies in really good condition that can take a newborn are wonderful), microwave sterilisers, pressure fitted stair-gates, play mats and bouncy chairs, baths and bath inserts, slings, good quality educational toys (no large plastic items or battery operated toys), IKEA highchairs with detachable legs. 

Thank you to everyone in advance who donates. We really appreciate your support.

 Midwives, health visitors, social workers, charity workers, GPs, local councillors and police can all refer individuals in crisis or struggling financially and in need. In most instances, we ask that the referring professional come to the Baby Bank to collect the required items. From experience, we know that the recipients themselves struggle to get to us, so professional pick up is the most effective way to operate. In emergency situations where the professional absolutely cannot come, we have limited capacity to drop off within the Oxford ring road and adjacent areas eg Barton, Littlemore etc. Professionals from outside Oxford may refer, but they will have to pick up from us. Currently, owing to the crisis in midwifery services, we are not expecting Oxford midwives to pick up and we will do our best to respond quickly to the needs of their clients via drop off.  

   We hope to offer some quick solutions to frontline professionals who are working in difficult circumstances and daily encounter individuals in need.
