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:

🧸🧩 We`re now focusing on brand-new gifts for our Christmas parcels, so we`re hitting the pause button on donations of pre-loved toys, books and games as we have good stock for now. We are still accepting pre-loved clothes, cots, buggies and other baby essentials as normal.
Visit our website to find out how you can support our Christmas campaign. You`ll find gift wish lists for inspiration, along with information about our drop-off points.
Our stock of gifts is still very low, especially for ages between 3 and 12 for both boys and girls, and we urgently need more donations. 🎁💛
If you have pre-loved toys, books or games to donate, please save them until after Christmas. Thank you! 💛
Don’t forget! We’re open and accepting donations this Saturday, 31 October, 10am-12pm.
We’re urgently in need of:
✅ Beds (from cots to single beds)
✅ Changing bags
✅ Changing mats
✅ Playmats
✅ Double buggies (suitable from birth)
✅ Rockers & bouncers
✅ Breastfeeding pillows
✅ Microwave sterilisers
✅ Cold-water sterilisers
✅ Warm winter clothes in great condition, sizes 0-16 years.
