Make a referral

We don’t have complicated assessment criteria, but we do ask that families are referred to us via a professional. That could be a health visitor, social worker, or Children’s Centre professional. It could also be a charity, or a local councillor. Families don’t need to be in crisis for us to help.

  • If you need more vouchers, please email us at referrals@littlevillagehq.org. You can click the "Request More Vouchers" in the blue menu box on this page.

I want some vouchers to give out

We operate on a voucher system, similar to the foodbank. Click on the link in the blue box to request some of our vouchers. If you are a professional and you identify a family who would benefit from Little Village’s support, you can fill in one of our vouchers, and give it to the family. This voucher entitles them to visit one of our stay and play sessions. Here they will be able to select up to 40 items of clothing for each child, as well as accessing toys, books and essential kit.

I want to make a referral

If you don't have any of our vouchers, or would like us to prepare a bundle ready for collection by you or the family themselves, then follow the link in the blue box to fill out our online referral form. We will then put together a bundle for you to collect, either from our HQ in Balham or our new branch in Camden. We offer a limited delivery service for bulky items once a fortnight.

I have a family who want a particular item

We always have plenty of clothes, toys and books in stock, but some items of equipment such as buggies, highchairs and cots are in high demand. It’s always worth emailing us before sending a family our way if they need an item like this to check whether it’s in stock. We operate a waiting list for cots and cotbeds where necessary, but for all other items we work on a first come, first served basis.
