Little Village

Little Village is like a food bank, but for clothes, toys and equipment for babies and children up to the age of 5. We accept donations of excellent-condition, pre-loved items, which are passed on to families who need support. The items are a gift, given with love, from one family to another. We provide a warm, supportive community for the families we see, building connections, local networks and facilitating support between parents. Our volunteers made 7,000 phone calls to families over the past year. We are based in London, with hubs in Camden, Wandsworth and Southwark. Since we launched in 2016, we've supported thousands of visits from families across London. In 2020 alone, we supported 7,281 children, more than double that of the previous year. Our values of love, solidarity, thriving and sustainability underpin everything we do.
