What we do to help families in shropshire

At Little Stars, we exist to make sure no baby or child goes without the essentials they need to be safe, warm, and cared for at all stages of childhood.

We are a baby bank – but also so much more. Through a growing range of programmes, campaigns, and community partnerships, we deliver real, practical support to families across Shropshire who are struggling with poverty, crisis, or hardship. We believe every child deserves a strong start, and no parent should face the fear of not being able to provide.

Our work begins with compassion and ends in action. Every day, we receive generous donations from people who want to make a difference – baby clothes, nappies, toiletries, cots, prams, blankets, and bedding. These items are sorted with care, packed with consideration, and delivered through a trusted network of health visitors, social workers, and support teams to families who have nowhere else to turn.

Our work is made possible entirely by the kindness of others. Every donated hoodie, every bottle of shampoo, every pound raised makes a real difference.

You are not just giving clothes – you are giving comfort, confidence, and kindness.
