Buddy Bag Foundation
The Buddy Bag Foundation was founded in 2015 to help make a difference to children entering emergency care. With 48,000 children needing emergency care each year, the Buddy Bag items help restore a sense of comfort and love.A Buddy Bag is a backpack filled with essential items a child needs including toiletries, pyjamas, socks, underwear, and comfort items like a book and a teddy bear. Each bag is tailored for babies, children, and young people based on age and gender.
The Buddy Bag Foundation is run by a team of volunteers and ambassadors so that 100% of the money they raise goes to the cause.
Our £500 donation will buy 20 much needed Buddy Bags. The 500 Club Committee will be meeting Angela Gakis, an Essex representative from Buddy Bag, and we look forward to updating you with further news soon.
