Pelican Parcels

Pelican Parcels is a charity supporting disadvantaged families and carers in Brighton & Hove and across Sussex. With a focus on babies and children 0-12, we offer pre-loved and new children’s items to families experiencing hardship. We provide all essentials; equipment including beds, buggies, highchairs; clothing, school uniform and shoes; toys, games and books; nappies, toiletries and new mum packs. We operate on a referral basis and do not support individuals or families directly. Referrals are made by council and health professionals including midwives, health visitors, social workers, children’s centres, schools as well as other local charities including foodbanks, domestic violence charities and refugee agencies. Our service is provided free of charge with no assessment criteria - donations go directly to the families at no cost to them. Our vision is a community in which families and carers all have the essentials for their children. Pelican Parcels is a registered charity in England and Wales (1179866), founded in 2018. We rely on the generosity of our local community and businesses based in the area for running costs and volunteers.
