Email from a mum you helped:
“I just wanted to reach out and express my appreciation and gratitude to you guys. I received a box from you from IFYS a couple of days ago and I seriously cannot thank you enough.
Not only have you guys helped us with clothing, but just to see the way the box was packaged with such care was honestly a tear jerker. Thank you so much for supporting my family and I.
Times have been incredibly hard, but to even see my three year old’s face light up seeing the little book left in the box, it was just an incredible moment of pure joy, something that’s been hard to find lately.”
She then sent another lovely reply:
“It makes my heart happy to know that vulnerable families and children like my own are able to have a hand up in times of need. I know for certain that the kindness and support I’ve received from both you guys and IFYS has made a lifelong impact for both my little one and I.
One thing I’ve learned so far is it really is just the little things that bring the most joy. Even being able to see the names of the volunteers who packed the box we received was just so lovely.
I really can’t thank you enough for everything, especially just the feeling of relief and love. That means more than words could ever say right now.”

Feedback from caseworker:
"I just wanted to send this note after having the most beautiful conversation with Mum* earlier in the week, following her receipt of this generous package. She was so appreciative of the generous gift of baby clothes and nappies. She said the kindness means more than words can express. During her contact visit on Wednesday, her youngest daughter was absolutely thrilled - she thought it was the best being able to choose from her "new wardrobe"!
For a mother being reunited with her children, every act of care and support helps rebuild not just a home, but also a sense of hope and stability. Baby Give Baby out did themselves with the thoughtfulness in helping this family take one more step toward safety, warmth, and healing - and that truly makes all the difference.
Thank you for being part of such a meaningful donation and for ensuring it reached such a remote area. Your compassion has had a real impact."

Corporate volunteering feedback from QIC:
"This was easily one of the best volunteering experiences that I've been involved in. I've left feeling very lucky that I had the opportunity to be involved. You've created a beautiful, welcoming environment at Baby Give Back with a genuine impact in the community. I loved that the day/activity was structured (i.e., initial sorting, quality check, packing boxes) because it meant we weren't wandering around aimlessly/not being of value. I also really appreciated the interaction from the team members who spent the whole 4 hours with us - I genuinely felt like part of the Baby Give Back team."
Feedback from caseworker:
“Thank you so much for checking in after the delivery of baby items. Mum was so so sooo grateful to receive the items and support. After experiencing sexual violence, dv and falling pregnant, her life has been turned upside down. Without any income or financial support, the Mum has soley been relying on the kindness of friends and organisations like Baby Gives Back.
Baby is actually due this week and we are all excited. Mum has some peace of mind, knowing she has all the essential needs and baby can come home and be well cared for.”
Feedback from caseworker:
“Mum* was thrilled to get the box of donated clothes from Baby Give Back. Her son is still in the final stages of toilet training so extra clothing has been a huge help during this stage.
Mum* does an amazing job of being parent with minimal money and no family support – so a donation such as this noticeably makes her feel cared for and supported.
Thanks again!”
Your support does so much more than deliver basic essentials for a child and relief to their family, it also wraps them in the love of a whole community. As a valued part of this village, thank you for making a difference - one item, one child, one family at a time.
