Words from Sabrina Oakey
Reflecting on 2024-2025 fills me with
immense pride and gratitude. This has been
a truly special year for Baby Basics
Northampton, one of growth. community
connection, and we114esetved recognition.
Il's a year that really shows just how vital
oui service Is. and how much we ale
supported by our amazing volunteers,
partneis, and the wider Northamptonshiie
cornrnunity.
This has also been a year of huge growth. We
now support one in every sixteen babies born
in the county- 8 figure that both humbles
and motivates us to keep reaching further. In
total. we supported 510 families this year, an
amazing achievement made possible by the
dedication ol our volunteers and the
generosity of our supporteis.
Milestone8
We started the year by celebrating our 12th
anniversary, a wonderful reminder ol how
lar we've come in supporting vulnerable
families. Soon after, we reached another
incredible rnilestone.. our 3.oooih starter
pack.11 was so special lo bring together
supporters, volunteers. and the cotntnunity
to celebrate over a decade ol dedication
and 3.000 babies provided with a safe place
to sleep. We were also honoured to be
named Charity of the Year for 2025 by
several corporate partners across the
county. recognition that means so much lo
oui whole team.
Our Social media and ihe launch of our brand-
new website have helped us connect with
even more people, strengthening our
cotnmunity links. ane of the highlights of the
year was our refeiiers, feedback session,
which gave us the chance to hear direthly
from professionals about the difference our
work makes. Listening to their experiences
was both enlightening and heartwarming, a
reminder of the meaningful impact that even
one starter pack can have on a baby and their
parenls.
I was proud to see both Gemma Stammers
and Laura Holmes Trevino receive their
Rose of Northamptonshire Awards. They
are a true credit lo our learn and an
example of the dedication, passion, and
care th81 rnakes Baby Basics Northamwon

Looking back on this year, I'M struck by the
