Visit from the Stork CIC
At Visit from the Stork we support network for parents and their children who have no one else to turn to; a tribe of parents and professionals alike who encourage, empower and connect each other.
We offer:
Baby and Household essentials - We give vital baby and household essentials to the most vulnerable families through Stork Support. Our friendly 1:1 professional support enables families to feel informed about choices they are making and more knowledgeable about important issues such as finances and housing.
Connecting families together - Through our Stork Peer Support groups and Stay & Play sessions, we ensure parents can make friends with others who have both the same and different experiences of parenthood, sharing languages, cultures and more.
Breast feeding support - Our BOOBS approved venues, breastfeeding cafes, specialist antenatal classes and 1:1 peer support helps mums to achieve their breastfeeding goals - whether for one week, 6 months or 2 years and beyond.
Stork Store community shop - Provides affordable toys, games, clothes and equipment 0-teenager, as well as free school uniform and books and discounted baby essentials. We run weekly sessions from the hub and offer drop-in appointments to help with benefit forms and Healthy start applications.

We have limited stocks of clothing available for newborn – 18 months old children but these are not guaranteed.

If the items are for a family in urgent situations in need of these items (fleeing DV, temp accommodation, asylum seeker/refugee etc) please ask our team and we may be able to source the items for you.
Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, our team now has a small capacity to help clients 1:1 or in peer support groups aimed at women with children under school age.
We currently run peer support groups in Longsight and Gorton, and we will have groups in Salford and North Manchester by Spring 2022.
