At Babymel, we get that not every parent can splash out on baby gear, so we’re all about giving back. We team up with charities across the UK to help parents in need by donating money and gently used items. It’s a win-win: we reduce waste and support families starting their parenting adventure.

Ecologi

In 2021, we joined forces with Ecologi, the cool platform that's all about helping businesses go green by offsetting carbon emissions through tree planting. We're now part of Ecologi’s Climate Action Workforce, which means for every Babymel team member, we’re planting trees and balancing out those carbon footprints. Together, we're stepping up our game and working towards being a seriously climate-positive biz! 🌳🌍🌟

 

Spread a Smile

Every year, Spread a Smile is out there spreading major good vibes to thousands of seriously ill kids, whether they're stuck in the hospital or chilling at home. Their super cool services are totally free for kids and teens up to 18, thanks to their NHS hospital BFFs.

Hospital stays can drag on for ages, and it turns out that playtime is essential for coping. Without enough chances to hang out and chat, these young champs can deal with extra anxiety and loneliness. So, Spread a Smile teams up with play pros and medical experts to run their Hospital Entertainment Programme. This fab initiative helps fight off the gloom of long hospital stays, boosts communication, and puts big smiles on tiny faces.

Babymel is stoked to be part of the magic by donating our products to Spread a Smile. We're thrilled to help bring a little more joy and comfort to the kiddos who need it most! 🎉😊🧸

The Cowshed

The Cowshed is like the ultimate support squad in Berkshire, swooping in to help folks in a pinch. They dish out top-notch clothes, bedding, toiletries, and other essentials—totally free—to anyone who needs a hand. We're talking families escaping tough situations, refugees, care leavers, the homeless, the elderly, and basically anyone hitting a rough patch.

Last year alone, they hooked up over 2,500 people with full clothing refills and spread joy to another 4,300 through special projects like kids' craft packs during the Covid lockdown, Christmas toy sacks, Easter goodies, and new baby bundles.

And guess what? Babymel is super proud to support their awesome work by donating products to keep the good vibes rolling and help make a difference! 🎉👕🛏️

Little Village

Little Village is basically like a VIP lounge for pre-loved baby gear. Instead of food, they’re serving up clothes, toys, and equipment for babies and kids up to 5. They take in gently used goodies and pass them on to families who could use a hand, turning donations into heartwarming gifts from one family to another.

They’re all about creating a supportive squad for families, building connections, and keeping everyone in the loop. Last year alone, their awesome volunteers made a mind-blowing 7,000 phone calls to families! Based in London with hubs in Camden, Wandsworth, and Southwark, Little Village has been on a roll since 2016. In 2020, they helped 7,281 kids—more than double the year before. With vibes of love, solidarity, thriving, and sustainability, they’re making sure every kiddo gets a little extra love. 🌟🍼💚

At Babymel, we’re stoked to support Little Village by donating our products. It’s our way of helping spread the love and keep the good vibes rolling!

Baby Basics

Baby Basics is like your supercharged baby shower gift for new mums who are juggling all the baby feels while also trying to keep it together financially. Started in Sheffield back in 2009, this amazing crew has expanded across the UK with a squad of volunteers who are basically baby-wrangling superheroes.

They dish out essentials and gear to families who need a little extra help, from teenage mums and asylum seekers to women escaping tough situations. It’s all about making sure every family gets the support they need, no matter the hurdles.

At Babymel, we’re all about spreading the love too, so we donate our products to Baby Basics. It’s our way of making sure those little bundles of joy get the best start, with a sprinkle of our support! 🌟👶💪

British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation is on a mission to kick heart and circulatory diseases to the curb and make “heartbreak” just a bad metaphor. Their team of brainiacs has worked magic like creating machines that reboot hearts, fixing arteries in tiny tots, and giving hearts a second chance. But, guess what? These diseases still affect 1 in 4 people in the UK, making their work super crucial and urgently needed.

Their research is like a promise to protect our loved ones with future-proof treatments, cures, and a whole lot of hope. And here’s the cool part: every breakthrough is powered by awesome folks like you.

At Babymel, we’re all in on this mission too! We donate our products to support the British Heart Foundation, because helping to beat heart disease is a win for everyone. ❤️🔬💪

Camden Carers Centre

Camden Carers is a fab little charity that’s been doing its thing since 1994, all the way from Camden. Their gig? Supporting the unsung heroes—those unpaid carers who look after family and friends dealing with illness, disabilities, mental health stuff, or even addiction. They’re the MVPs of caregiving, but they don’t get paid and often don’t even realize they’re doing this epic job. It takes many of them up to two years to figure out they’re actually “carers” and not just doing their bit for loved ones.

Camden Carers has got their backs with health checks, advice, and guidance. They also offer cool stuff like support groups, counseling, and even a "Working for Carers" project to help them get back into the workforce.

At Babymel, we’re totally on board with their mission and donate our products to support their amazing work. Because everyone deserves a bit of love and care! 💖👩‍👩‍👦‍👦✨

La Maison de Marthe et Marie

La Maison de Marthe et Marie is like the ultimate pregnancy squad, started in 2010 by a super caring midwife. This non-profit gem helps out expectant mums who are facing tough times—whether they're dealing with financial stress, isolation, housing issues, or surprise pregnancies. They offer cozy shared housing so these amazing women can go through their pregnancy and the first year of their baby's life in a supportive and safe environment. It’s like having a cheer squad and a cozy home all rolled into one, thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers.

At Babymel, we're all about spreading the love, so we donate our products to La Maison de Marthe et Marie to help them keep their mission going strong. Because every mum deserves a little extra support and comfort! 💕🏠👶
