Our Story
The Nest Project was set up to reflect the Christian values of compassion and care of those that are in need. We aim to be a welcoming and supportive service for families with children under the age of 5 in BANES who are experiencing financial difficulties, by providing essential children's clothing and equipment free of charge. We hope that by doing this alongside providing support and guidance, we will ease the financial pressure that many families with young children face, enabling children to have the best start to life as possible.
Why? 1/3 of children under the age of 5 in the South West are living in poverty. We want to help give children the start in life that they deserve by being an easily accessible and free service so that no child goes without. We want to help parents build a safe, warm "nest", without worrying about finances.
Who? Anyone living in BANES can use our service. We understand that children grow quickly and you're welcome to keep on coming back as you need items. You can self-refer, or you can be referred by a professional.
How? We rely on donations of mostly second-hand items, given to us by other families in the area who no longer need them. By re-using donated items, we want to promote local communities helping one another, as well as advocating sustainable living by reusing and recycling items preventing them from going to landfill
