About us
Abi's Footprints is a community project from New Life Church, Great Cornard, serving Sudbury (Suffolk), Great Cornard and neighbouring villages.
We support families in the local area who are struggling in difficult circumstances to meet the practical needs of a new baby or child, up to the age of 5 years.
We do this by providing, free of charge, essentials such as clothing, bedding and toiletries, and larger items like cots and buggies.
New Life Church is a registered charity 1162045

How you can help
Financial Gifts
We depend on financial gifts and grants to cover rent and overheads for our storage facilities. Occasionally it is also necessary to purchase items to cover shortages, particularly essential safety items. Please Contact us for further information or donate here
Practical donations
We welcome donations of new items or second-hand items which are in great condition. These donations provide most of the essentials that we distribute to families. Please see our Donations page for details
Volunteer
We welcome volunteers to help with practical tasks such as sorting and checking donated clothes and equipment. Please Contact us about volunteering opportunities.
Donations
New items
To give babies the safest start, we provide only new bottles and mattresses.
We welcome donations of disposable nappies and other unused baby and mum hygiene essentials.
Second-hand items
Please Contact Us if you wish to donate second-hand clothes, bedding or baby equipment. Our storage space is limited and stock levels change rapidly, so we cannot always accept all preloved donations.
