On Saturday & Sunday 7th & 8th March 2026, our volunteers will be ready and waiting at locations around the country, to collect your donations of new baby essentials for families in need.
Drive & Drop is a hugely important campaign for us, as it helps us stock our hubs up with everything they need to be able to provide basic necessities to so many families.
Below is the full list of items we are collecting.
