Family Matters

Family Matters brings local families together to support each other.

​

We provide donated, good quality clothes, toys and equipment for babies and pre-schoolers to local families in need.

 

All our items are gifted to us by other local families.

​

Run by a group of local people, we collect and organise donated items such as:

  • clothes for 0-3s

  • towels

  • playmats

  • highchairs

  • cots & moses baskets stairgates

  • buggies

  • toiletries

  • toys

  • games

I need some baby or toddler kit

If you are experiencing hardship, you can ask your midwife, health visitor, doctor, or local Children’s Centre for a Family Matters referral. You can then visit our site in Weymouth to select your items. On Tuesdays we are open from 10-3 and you can find us by clicking here to view a map showing our location.

I’m a professional and want to refer a family to Family Matters
You can refer any family who you feel would benefit from our support – there are no complicated assessments. If you would like more information on how we work please email us at family.matters.wandp@gmail.com

​

I’ve got something to donate

Thank you! You can drop your donation off at our store on the Grandby Industrial Estate. On Mondays (from 4th November) we are open from 10-2 for donations only and on Tuesdays from
10-3, preferably for referrals only but happy to have donations then too.

You can find us by clicking here to view a map showing our location. 

 

Our items are gifts, not hand-outs, so please only bring us great quality donations that you’ve washed, sorted and labelled. If you’re bringing a cot please check all the bolts are included!

 

I’d like to get involved

We have lots of volunteering opportunities so come on board. To offer help or find out more please email family.matters@gmail.com. We work hard to ensure you can volunteer for us with small kids in tow and have a range of different roles available.
