August 04, 2020 - 22:00 BST Emily Nash The Duchess of Cambridge donned a mask, apron and gloves today as she launched a major initiative to support vulnerable babies and children. On a visit to the baby bank charity Baby Basics UK in Sheffield, she revealed how she was moved to tears by the stories of families she met during secret lockdown visits to its West Norfolk branch near her Anmer Hall home.
Retailers taking part include John Lewis, M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury's, The White Company, Matalan, Trotters, Boden, Frugi, Mamas & Papas, Jojo Maman Bébé and Kit & Kin. Green People , My Little Coco, Bloom and Blossom, Kokoso Baby, Childs Farm and Bramley have also made donations, while DHL Express is providing transport.
Kate also met Ali Wartty and Sahara Hamawandy, and their one-year-old triplets San, Shan and Laveen. An emotional Sahara told the Duchess how she was referred to Baby Basics after struggling to cope. The charity provided them with a triple pram, Moses baskets and starter packs, as well as clothes and toiletries as the babies have grown.
The Duchess also spoke via videocalls to Amy Cotton, who fled a violent home with only her baby son Ricky, now three, and received a buggy, clothing and toys from Little Village. She is now a volunteer for the charity and has a 12-week old daughter, Ellie-Rose. "As a mum the one thing you want to be able to do is to provide for your children and it was difficult not to be able to do that but Little Village helped," said Ella-Mae."It's something as basic as getting a cup of tea when you come here and people asking how you are and being able to offload without fear of what people might think.
A Little Village survey of more than 50 baby banks has found that 77% desperately need more nappies, mattresses and other products as demand for their services increases. The charity is set to support more than 6,000 children this year, double the number they helped in 2019.
In a pristine white ugly grandma dress and six inch metallic hells this foolish girl attempted to fool the world that she did all this and she works😂😂😂KM we are not stupid we know you are dumb when you open your mouth and we all seabyou in Commonwealth day racists😡
HRH Catherine with a beautiful lok, is a wonderful person who has done a great job with joy and in everything she does. Beautiful, always with a smile, a look at reality with a lot of sweetness.
KatesRangers Great project to get brands to donate to baby banks, it’s sad that they exist in the first place but I love what the duchess and the team have done
KatesRangers This is wonderful but i have a question, did our beloved Duchess Catherine have this take part on the 5th in a gesture of not doing a Markle of Markle's Birthday. I believe when it entered Duchess C's it was indeed put on 5th so not to take from Markle on her birthday.
KatesRangers Queen of our Hearts? she is damn well-reaching mine 🇬🇧
KatesRangers Unbelivable how shallow this title is. Focusing on wearing a mask instead of another great initiative. She’s just got 19 U.K. brands to donate 10 000 new items to baby more then 40banks. This is news! 👏🏽👏🏽Brava DuchessofCambridge brava KensingtonRoyal
