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.

Word art with the following text:
1. Listen up, if your girl...
keeps you warm
protects your from the rain
that`s not your girl
... that`s a winter coat
2. Listen up, if your girl...
keeps your toes toasty
lives in your underwear drawer
that`s not your girl
... that`s socks
3. Listen up, if your girl...
keeps you cosy while you sleep
loves to lounge around the house
that`s not your girl
... that`s pyjamas
