About Ten Little Toes
Ten Little Toes has been running as a voluntary organisation for over six years. We became a registered charity, number 1184233, in 2019. We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and take referrals ( via health and social workers, alongside other professionals and organisations) from all over Sussex and sometimes beyond.
Ten Little Toes was born out of love, set up by a family who know only too well how hard it can be to get by with a house full of small children. With their own four children now teens and young adults, they turned their attention to helping their local community and began running Ten Little Toes out of their home. Now in a brand new space in Crawley, with a team of six trustees and a small pool of volunteers, the baby bank is still supporting a growing amount of families every month. No matter where we work from, Ten Little Toes is always full of love for those we work with.
The demand for our services is constant and ever-growing, and we see more and more what a lifeline our donations can be for families - those facing financial hardship, temporary homelessness, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, health issues - and the emotional hardship associated with all of these things. Often we are called upon to provide emergency relief to families who are displaced for any of the above reasons, and we respond as quickly as we can. We are constantly amazed at the response from the local community, who never let us down. When we ask, you provide. We are proud to be in a local community who care about their neighbours - and those they don’t know, too.
We love to run occasional events for the community, and we have plans for Christmas cake sales, toy campaigns and more.
