Are you expecting a baby between November and January?

Despite our name we provide help for children from 0 - 16 years old with all the baby essentials, clothing, bedding, shoes, school uniform and toy bundles.

We work with various referral partners (over 450!) including the maternity unit, social services and schools, and therefore the requests that come through vary.

We will always do our best to help with specific requests, and our community (you) are amazing at helping us complete these.

Parenthood changes everything — and at Parentwise, our support doesn’t stop when the final session ends.
After the six-week course, we invite parents back for a free reunion, once all the babies have arrived. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space — time to reconnect, share stories, ask questions, and sit with others who truly understand. (Tea and cake included.)
These reunions matter. They offer reassurance, perspective, and the comfort of shared experience at a time when new parenthood can feel both joyful and overwhelming.
We often see friendships strengthen and continue long after the course finishes — parents meeting up, staying in touch, and supporting one another through the early months and beyond.
Parentwise has always been about more than classes. It’s about connection, continuity, and building a community that lasts.
Our next courses are now open — and we’d love to welcome you.
