The Baby Box

Putting babies on the road to good health

Promoting the Baby Box to health care and early years professionals is a key part of what we do. Excited to be at the First 1001 critical days conference in Newcastle today.

If you are able to support the campaign so we can get even more boxes out into the community text TCFNE and your amount (e.g TCFNE10) to 70085 to help us reach our ambition to Make a Million to support the next generation to thrive.❤️

We want to wish a ⭐️ Happy Mother’s Day ⭐to every Mam and mother figure in the North East, you’re all amazing.

Our Baby Box campaign was developed to give every new parent and their baby the best start possible.

The baby box from @tcfcharity ‘was a lifesaver’ and made new mum feel "that someone out there cared".

Did you hear the news? Newcastle Hospitals Charity has donated £25,000 to support our project with 100 baby boxes!

Can you help us get our boxes into the hands of even more families in the North East?

Without the generosity and support from the team at Stiller Warehousing and Distribution our essential Baby Box project simply wouldn't have been possible. Thank you! https://t.co/xBafo0nQYf

Well done to all of our @Great_Run and Junior Great North Runners this weekend. You did us proud and every penny you raised will go towards improving the health and wellbeing of children right here in the North East. #GreatNorthRun2023 #GNR2023 #NorthEast #proud #charity

Great to hear @bphillipsonMP on @BBCRadio2 talking about "firm foundations" when it comes to children's speech and language. Principles we have based our @TCFBabyBox on, supporting NE babies with a best start in life!

But bonding can start before new baby even arrives. The team at Parent-Infant Foundation have produced a series of resources to raise awareness of why bonding before birth is so important: https://t.co/hpY9BBd2as

This week is Infant Mental Health Awareness Week and studies show that the experiences and relationships that we have earliest in life impact the the development of our brains: https://t.co/rFtRLEcxtF #IMHAW2023

Yesterday we welcomed the news from our government that working parents of children over 9 months will receive 30 free hours of childcare provision. But what does this really mean for families in the NE?
