Our Buddy Bags
Attend a Buddy Bag pack
What's in a Buddy Bag?
A Buddy Bag is a backpack that contains all the essential items a child needs.
They include toiletries, pyjamas and underwear, in addition to comfort items such as a book and a teddy bear.
A Buddy Bag is something a child can call their own, no matter where they go.
Buddy Bags are tailored to suit babies, children and young people according to age groups and gender.

Attend a Buddy Bag pack
Get hands-on with packing the Buddy Bags that go straight to the children in emergency care.
A Buddy Bag Brigade is a great community and socially responsible opportunity. By joining us for one of our many Buddy Bag Brigades you are helping to make a difference to the 48,000 children in the UK who require emergency care each year.
Buddy Brigades are free to attend, simply reserve your space at one of our events through our Facebook Page.
If you are a business owner and you would like your staff to participate in their own Team Buddy Bag Brigade then please get in touch.
This is a great team-building opportunity that will make a real difference and turn your fundraising into a tangible opportunity to give back to a community project. We will endeavour to deliver your Buddy Bags to your local women’s refuge.
How does a Buddy Bag pack work?
Buddy Bags will be funded through fundraising, sponsorship and donations. Groups of items can be either donated or sponsored.
Individual volunteers or large companies looking for community projects for their staff to support will usually meet at venues throughout the UK every fortnight to fill the Buddy Bags.
The Buddy Bags will be stored and distributed to women’s refuges in the UK that deal with children who have been victims of domestic and sexual abuse. Each participating centre will keep a stock of Buddy Bags that can be handed to children when they are placed in emergency care.
