Description

PCCS provides practical and emotional help for pregnancy related issues through our material aid service (Baby Bank) and our donation-based counselling service. Baby Bank: We provide baby equipment and clothes (up to age 2) to families in financial difficulty. To access the baby bank, an initial referral must be completed by a healthcare professional. Families can then self-refer until the child is 2 years old. Our service is open to families in all their varied forms, including those who do not live under the same roof or when a child is living with extended family. If you require more than 1 of any item please let us know, we are not always able to oblige but we will do our best.
