Aims and Objectives
Love, Amelia is a baby bank supporting families across Sunderland and South Tyneside. We offer free, essential items to children aged 0-4years who are living in difficult situations.
History and Background
Love, Amelia was founded by Steph and Phill, parents to Amelia. Amelia sadly passed away in Sunderland Hospital shortly after her birth and her parents founded the charity in her memory to give local children the best start in life
Activities and Projects
We take donations of new and pre-loved items for children and distribute to families who need them most. Donations are cleaned and checked in line with UK safety standards and all sleeping equipment provided is in line with The Lullaby Trust guidelines. We only distribute clean, high quality items as we want families to feel they are receiving a gift, not a handout. Our golden rule is, if we would use it on our own children or give it to a friend, we will gift it to a family. We accept referrals from professionals to ensure items are distributed fairly and efficiently to families who need it most. We strongly believe all children deserve an opportunity to thrive and to have a strong foundation to grow and learn.
