Sleep Tight appeal
A safe place to sleep should be a basic right for every child. But the reality for many families facing poverty or living in cramped, unsuitable or temporary accommodation, essentials like Moses baskets, cots, baby sleeping bags, pyjamas or bedding are out of reach. By supporting our Sleep Tight appeal, you could help provide the essentials a child needs for the comfortable, safe night’s sleep that they deserve. Find out how to donate your items below or if you don’t have items to donate, but would still like to help click here.

What we need
Please help us stock our baby banks with these much-needed sleep essentials. Your donations will help ensure more babies and young children aged 0-5 years old have the best possible start in life. Please note, we’re not unable to accept used mattresses, pillows or duvets.
Don’t have any of these pre-loved essentials to pass on? Why not make a donation instead to help pay for new items such as a new mattress for a toddler’s cot bed. Thank you so much for supporting Sleep Tight.

You can donate your items at a variety of our baby bank spots across London. All we ask is that they are clean, in excellent condition and ready to go to a family.

A parents story...
“My favourite bit was the Moses basket because like most Mum’s I just wanted my child to have a safe, cosy and lovely place to sleep.”
