Thank you for considering how you can donate to the Building Bonds Project.
We all know that the ongoing cost of living crisis is a particularly challenging time to have a new baby and/or young children. It has exposed huge amounts of inequality and deprivation, which has a direct effect on family wellbeing and the lives of young children. Many families will have found slings invaluable during hard times, to encourage bonding and to be hands free, many more do not have the resources to be able to source carriers or fitting support.
Over the last few years as the effects of Brexit, the Covid 19 pandemic and the ongoing cost of living crisis, we have seen the demand and need for our services increase massively around the UK. We are entirely volunteer run by a small group of us in Sheffield, so everything we raise goes towards the slings and the admin needed to run the project.
If you can afford to donate that would be amazing, and we are really grateful. But even if you can’t, you can help us out by sharing the crowd funder, maybe with a little message about how your sling has supported your personal parenting journey. https://chuffed.org/project/building-bonds
You can also donate to us via Paypal via this link – paypal.me/buildingbondsproject
In 2025 we were delighted to be awarded a grant from the National Lottery which has meant we are able to support many more families in need.
Our Project is staffed by volunteers; but there are still costs to be incurred; such as buying carriers to donate, sourcing carriers for very specific needs, making leaflets, website hosting, travel to residential homes and more. All your generous donations will be used for the Project and the people it serves. You can also donate suitable carriers and coats!
Thank you!
