Helping families provide the essentials their children need

Pelican Parcels is the only baby bank in Brighton & Hove supporting children aged 0 to 16.

What we do is simple: we take new and pre-loved donated items from families who no longer need them and gift them to families who do.

Pelican Parcels has relieved a massive financial burden from my family and we cannot thank them enough for what they do.
I never imagined I would be in the position to need help, but am so very grateful to Pelican Parcels.
It has eased a big pressure off of me.
We are very grateful for the gift! My daughter is incredibly happy!
The support you offer our children and their families is truly amazing and much appreciated.
It was more than I ever thought I would receive...I'm a young mum and I'm not working…I had nothing for the baby! I plan to donate once my baby has grown out of his clothes.
