Volunteer

Description

Community Connect is Ireland’s national ‘Baby Bank’ – a registered charity dedicated to providing practical support to vulnerable pregnant mothers parents with small babies, who are struggling to provide for their children.

Our hubs gratefully accept donations of new and pre-loved essential items for babies and children, and pass them on for free, from one family to another. This offers crucial support to mothers, and ensures their young children have the essentials they need to thrive. 

We provide expecting and new mothers who need it most, with the baby equipment, clothing and essential baby supplies they need to welcome their little ones into the world with love and dignity.
