Visit from the Stork CIC - Gorton Hub - Sacred Heart Family Hub
Stork Support is our core service, giving free and low cost vital baby and household essentials to the most vulnerable families such as those fleeing DV, living in temporary accommodation, living on extremely low incomes and those with poor mental health.
We make sure parents don’t have to choose between clothing and feeding their children and paying their bills, by giving them peace of mind with the provision of baby essentials, exactly when they need them.
We now operate collection hubs for most of our clients, where families can access wraparound support when they go to collect their items (nappies, wipes, toiletries and vouchers for baby food such as first stage infant formula).
Our Gorton Hub is at Gorton Sacred Heart Family Hub, with the collection day on a Friday morning between 9.30-11am. Covering all M18 postcodes, the hub is run by the Outreach team. The Outreach Team can offer wraparound support such as referrals to specialist services and sessions on at their centre, as well as forms etc.
How to access:
We take referrals from professionals in the NHS and local authorities such as Midwives, Health Visitors, Outreach workers, Early Help teams, Social workers and other charity professionals.
