Read the Baby Basics 2021 Impact Report Read the Baby Basics Sheffield 2021 Impact Report
Baby Basics was set up in 2009 as a response to the growing need for practical help for new mothers unable to afford the basic essentials and equipment necessary to look after their newborns.

Sheffield's Lead Midwife for displaced people groups worked daily with clients who were struggling to get the things they needed. She was regularly shocked by stories of women humiliated in hospital because they couldn't afford sanitary wear for after the birth of their babies; children without shoes; and women forced into situations of sexual exploitation. Knowing that she could no longer continue to meet her client's needs alone she approached Rachel Atkinson, leader of the Under-5's work at Kings Centre Church in Sheffield to ask if she knew of any families who may be able to pass along clothing that their own children had outgrown. Sharing stories of the poverty that many women and families are living under in Sheffield, the church was moved to action. A group of mums felt the injustice was too much to simply look away from in their own city and got together to do whatever they could to make some sort of difference.

From those initial conversations grew a clothing bank and a place for midwives and health visitors to request baby equipment and essential toiletries for their clients. The work has grown steadily and now Baby Basics give away hundreds of items each year to women in many different and difficult circumstances. Every item given away through Baby Basics is donated by someone in the local community and sorted by our team of volunteers. We aim to value each and every mother and child by packaging every gift with a high level of care and love. If you have items you may be able to donate to the work please visit the Giving Supplies page.

Baby Basics is now a well-known and well used service across the Sheffield for midwives and health visitors to request baby equipment and essential toiletries for their clients. We are so proud and excited about the simplicity and effectiveness of the idea that we are always encouraging groups to start Baby Basics projects in other towns and cities around the UK. There is an ever growing network of churches and community groups around the country running a Baby Basics project for their local community, please see our ' other locations ' page for more information on what is happening locally to you.

If you are interested in starting a Baby Basics project where you live, please visit the Start Your Own Baby Basics page.

There is a range of support services available in Cheshire West and Chester which enable vulnerable adults to live as independently as possible. Support services include home assistance hub, domestic abuse refuges, homeless services, sheltered housing, community alarms and floating support services.

Where to find help and apply for services

West Cheshire Homes

Emergency out of hours

If you are homeless out of normal office hours you can ring the West Cheshire Homes out of hours number. This number is not for general housing advice but for people who are in need of accommodation that night.

Homeless or at risk

The council can help you if you are homeless or if you are worried about becoming homeless.

Domestic abuse

People have the right to be safe in their homes and relationships. No one, whatever their gender, sexuality, age, culture, race or disability should suffer domestic abuse.

If you are thinking about leaving an abusive relationship and are worried about your safety or the safety of your children, you do not have to suffer alone. There are people who can help, and you can take steps to stay safe.

Supported housing

We are currently in need of more supported accommodation across Cheshire West and Chester to support people while they are faced with homelessness so that there is less reliance on hotels, which are less suited to family life and developing independence. Further information can be found on our supported housing scheme page.

Home Improvement Agency services

Our Home Improvement Agency (HIA), previously known as the Home Assistance Hub, is delivered by ForHousing.

Homes matter and can have a huge impact on how people live their lives. ForHousing provide high-quality services to help residents remain safe at home, and independent as health and needs change. These services include:

major and minor adaptations, including specialist equipment

repairs and decent homes works (improvements required to meet the Decent Homes Standards)

support to access grants and loans; and privately funded work

handyperson service

home safety and security

home insulation and energy efficiency

signposting to other services

More information can be found on our help with adaptations and repairs page.

Floating support service

ForViva provide support services on behalf of the Council under the brand 'ForFutures'. ForFutures support people who are at risk of becoming homeless, those without secure accommodation or 'sofa surfing', and people sleeping rough. For more information visit the ForFutures website below.

Social Care and Health services

You can access social care and health services if you are:

a young person at risk

homeless

at risk of domestic abuse

suffering from mental health issues

a teenage parent

an older person

a refugee

someone with a physical or learning disability

Contact adult social care and health

Further information

For more information about housing related support services, please contact: housingstrategy@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk alternatively, if you require further information about adult social care and health related services please contact: commissioningandcontracts@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk.

If you're homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, contact our Housing Options Team. If you're not yet homeless, we may be able to find a way for you to stay in your current home. For ways we can help, see preventing and relieving homelessness.

If you are concerned about someone sleeping on the streets, see rough sleeping.

Who to contact if you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless

Call our Housing Options Team during office hours on 0300 123 5017 (Option 2).

At weekends and when the office is closed you can call us on 0300 123 5025

Visit us during office hours at our Crewe or Macclesfield Customer Contact Centres or you can speak to someone from our Housing Options Team over the phone at any Cheshire East Library.

If you are not eligible for state housing support we will tell you about other agencies who can help.

We may not be able to help if you have made yourself intentionally homeless.

You can also obtain help and advice by contacting:

Shelter on 0808 800 4444 or in an emergency call them on 0808 1644 6600

Citizens Advice on 03444 111 444

Cheshire Without Abuse on 0300 123 5101 if you are experiencing domestic abuse and must flee your home to a place of safety

Our legal duties

If you are homeless or at risk of homelessness and you contact Cheshire East Council, the Housing Options Team must respond in accordance with the Homelessness Reduction Act.

By law, some groups of people are counted as having a priority need.

Duty to prevent homelessness

Where we have information that a person / household is legally threatened with homelessness in the next 56 days and eligible for assistance according to the Housing Act 1996 we will work with you to prevent you from becoming homeless.

Once you've been assessed you will receive a legal decision notice to explain that you're now being helped under a Prevention Duty. You will also be provided with a further notice when that duty is brought to an end and you have the right to request a review of any duty decisions made throughout the process. If we're unable to resolve your housing issue before you become homeless, you will be entitled to the Relief Duty and a further letter explaining this process will be given to you which is also subject to a review if you request it.

Duty to relieve homelessness

This duty is for people / households who have already become homeless or it can come after a period of prevention has been attempted but was not successful. We will again work with you for a period of 56 days to resolve your housing issue.

If we have a reason to believe you would be within a Priority Need category you will be provided with an offer of emergency accommodation but we cannot guarantee this offer will always be within Cheshire East or in your current locality but we will of course take your needs into account.

If we're unable to prevent or relieve your homelessness the Housing Options Team will assess if the main housing duty is owed to you. The main housing duty is owed to individuals / households who are assessed to be in priority need and have not made themselves homelessness intentionally as determined by the Housing Act 1996 (Part VII). If you are owed this duty any accommodation provided to you under the Relief duty will continue.

Personalised Housing Plans

With both of the duties above, the Homelessness Reduction Act requires the Housing Options Team to provide you with a Personalised Housing Plan. This plan, along with the Housing Advice letter which will come along with it, will provide information on our assessment of your household, your circumstances and any support needs that you may have.

It is also designed to be a tool to help you resolve your housing situation. During your discussions with your dedicated Housing Officer you will discuss and agree a list of actions tailored to your situation which both you and the Officer will take to prevent or relieve your homelessness.

Free access to advice

Under the Housing Act 1996 the Council must provide you with free advice and information about homelessness.

The Homelessness Reduction Act by requiring the Council to provide bespoke advice to several key groups of individuals which may require further assistance if they're threatened with or become homeless.

Duty to refer

Some specific Public Bodies also have a "Duty to Refer". "Duty to Refer" for specified Public Bodies. This legal duty requires certain agencies to be pro active in the prevention and relief of homelessness across the country.

The following organisations are required to refer any person/household they believe to be homeless or at risk of homelessness to the Housing Options team:

Prisons
Youth offenders institutions
Secure training centres
Youth offending teams
Probations services
Jobcentre plus
Social services
Emergency departments
Urgent treatment centres
Hospitals

If you are from one of the above agencies and you know of a person or household whom are homeless or at risk of homelessness please contact the team ideally via the following link https://hpa2.org/refer/CHEAST

One Knowsley Testimonial

"Better Lives has been through quite significant changes over the last 2 years and has dealt with some difficult challenges. Some of this has been daunting and we have been fortunate enough to have had the support of One Knowsley throughout that time.

It was so important to us to be able to contact an organisation that was:
a) knowledgeable about our issues
b) was independent and approachable
c) was there when we needed them!

We have grown and changed, developing new services and continually upskilling with One Knowsley support.
We signed up for membership in 2018 and have taken advantage of what is on offer to members, which has been invaluable."
Pat McCarthy, Manager, Better Lives - Stregthening Independance

Healthwatch Knowsley Activities

As you will be aware, the emergence of Coronavirus has required governments, organisations, and individuals to make a range of changes to our normal everyday activities to help delay the spread of the virus.

Much of our work is undertaken with vulnerable groups who are potentially at greater risk if they were exposed to the virus. Therefore, following guidance from our colleagues at Healthwatch England, Healthwatch Knowsley has taken the decision to changed the way we work, with the introduction of Zoom sessions and limiting the number of face to face activities.

Healthwatch Knowsley has been continuing to support people in other ways, such as providing information and signposting to relevant services.

Our staff team will remain available during office hours if you have any queries or particular difficulties. Please do not hesitate to get in touch via email or telephone using the following contact details.
