MAMA2MAMA BABY ESSENTIALS

Mama2Mama Baby Essentials have set up this baby bank because of direct need from local communities in SE London, with no baby banks available to provide support. Our baby bank is one of only one in Royal Borough of Greenwich. We operate in a similar manner to a food bank focusing on babies and young children, with donated items of clothing, toiletries, nappies, and any basics families in need.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
