Visit from the Stork CIC

Delivering baby essentials to families in hardship across Greater Manchester.

We have been funded to provide the following items:
• Nappies/Pull ups sizes 0-6,
• Wipes Baby or kids bath wash Shampoo
• Baby food 6m+ Formula milk stage 1 or 2 only Blue top milk
• Calpol / Teething gel

Please note we do not provide food for babies over 12 months or stage 3 formula milk. We can provide blue top milk or milk alternative as per NHS guidance, and make a referral to a foodbank if the family need food.

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

Please ask and we will see what we can do. At the moment we do not have any prams or moses baskets or stair gates. 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.

To access:

Due to really high demand, we have changed to a professional referral only system. If you need help, please contact any one who knows you in a professional capacity such as Health Visitor, Support worker, Social worker, Early Help team, midwife, housing team or even someone at Citizens Advice Manchester or Salford. Social activities are drop in.
