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.

We’re so excited to announce that as of today, we’ll be open until 5pm!
From today, we’ll be open 10am - 5pm, Monday - Thursday, every week!
This means you now have more time to drop off your donations and referrers will have more time to collect parcels!
We can’t wait to see you there 👀

We have been overwhelmed with the generosity of our community and are now overrun with buggies!
If you’ve got a buggy you were planning on donating, please hold onto it for a few weeks while we sort though our backlog.
We do still have a wait list of four families in need of double buggies from birth, so if you have one of those please donate it asap!
And if you’re able to come and help us clean up and safety check some of these buggies (and some beds!) please email ku.gro.slecrapnacilep@reetnulov
