Baby Basics received the donation through Power NI's Brighter Communities initiative and will allow those involved with the project to purchase a wide selection of essential items. The items include moses baskets, baby baths, sheets, blankets, towels, nappies, and toiletries.
The charity collaborates with professionals such as midwives and health visitors, statutory bodies and other charities, including Women's Aid, to identify those families that require assistance.

Through the funding from Power NI, Baby Basics founder, Shirley Mann, said: "This funding will enable Baby Basics to continue to provide quality starter packs for new mothers in need.
"We are all volunteers, and we are delighted – and thankful – to receive this money to continue this invaluable work."
Power NI's Ashleigh O'Neill said: "We are so pleased to be able to support Baby Basics and help them provide more support to new parents. This should be a very special time for parents, but it can often be clouded with financial worry, so we are delighted to be able to help Baby Basics continue their work, supplying essentials to those in need."
After starting the Brighter Communities programme in 2018, Power NI has donated over
£50,000 to groups and projects operating across Northern Ireland.
