Helping families provide the essentials their children need
Pelican Parcels is the only baby bank in Brighton & Hove supporting children aged 0 to 16.
What we do is simple: we take new and pre-loved donated items from families who no longer need them and gift them to families who do.
It’s easy to help. Get involved today:
