Little Village was set up in autumn 2015 by a group of mums in Wandsworth who wanted to give away their good quality baby and toddler kit to other local families in need, but couldn’t find a way of doing so. We opened another branch in Camden in early 2017, and a third branch is due to open in Southwark in early 2018.
We collect up good quality donations of clothes, toys, books and equipment for babies and children up to the age of 5, and we get this kit out to families in the area who need it.
Our items are gifts, rather than hand-outs, and we provide non-patronising, non-judgmental, practical support. Our ambition is to create small, warm communities of families supporting one another, within our intense, global city. We are 100% volunteer-run.
Welcome to Little Village.
"I really appreciate the help and support you have given me. Thank you for treating me with dignity."
"The process to make a referral is straightforward along with the impeccable, speedy service delivered by the kind volunteers in organising each family’s items. Our family was delighted and overwhelmed with the vast amount of donations provided to them. Thank you so much!"
"It means so much to know that my precious baby things are going to local families who really need some support. I like the idea that there is less plastic about, it’s just so much better for the environment. Toys particularly are used and discarded so readily it would be nice to know that these would all get a lot of use."
Many thanks to the following organisations who have supported Little Village in the early stages of its journey. We couldn’t be where we are without them.
