MAKE A REFERRAL

Welcome To TippyToes

Tippytoes BabyBank was founded in 2019 to provide essentials to families in need

We support families in and around Lancashire by accepting and donating good quality second hand clothes, equipment and new toiletries.

We accept referrals AFTER 24 weeks of pregnancy, HOWEVER, we will usually not make contact regarding items until 36 weeks of pregnancy.

October 2025 Update:

We are incredibly pleased to welcome onboard our new trustees, who we hope will continue to take the Baby Bank to new heights. Keep your eye out for them introducing themselves on the “Meet our Team” page!

Our Mission

Tippytoes Baby Bank helps families in and around Lancashire and surrounding areas who are in urgent need of baby essentials.

We always need donations of nappies, wipes, baby formula, baby clothes and baby equipment because no baby should go without.

We welcome work place donation boxes and ‘Bring a bottle’ days where  people bring a bottle of baby shampoo/baby wash/bubble bath and add to a collection. These supplies keep us going through the month as most referrals will require a toiletry pack.

Your support and contributions will enable us to support many more families who are in urgent need of baby essentials.

    'During the COVID-19 pandemic, PCC set up a vulnerable support line to assist the residents of Preston during the unprecedented times. During this support period, we became aware of Tippy Toes Baby Bank … despite being based in South Ribble they have assisted us with various referrals for parents in need .. they have provided a variety of much needed items to our families who sometimes were in desperate situations. We cannot thank them enough and I know these families and individuals are very grateful and also relieved that they have somewhere to turn to, as are we. Please keep up the good work and a huge thank you'
