Extra Mile
Safe sleep and vital baby transport
Extra Mile is a volunteer-led charity based in Hampton, supporting vulnerable families across Richmond, Hounslow and neighbouring boroughs with essential baby and child equipment.
The Axis Foundation has donated £4,000 to Extra Mile to purchase 15 cots with mattresses, 15 prams and 10 double buggies to provide safe sleeping spaces and vital transport equipment, enabling families to care for young children with dignity, safety and independence. Our donation will directly benefit 50 children, reducing family stress, improving wellbeing and helping children get a safer, healthier start in life.
“Thank you so much. This support has come at the perfect time as we celebrate 10 years of The Extra Mile. It will mean so much to many struggling families, and we are incredibly grateful. This funding will make a real and immediate difference to parents who simply cannot afford these essential items” – Liz Windaybank, Volunteer
“Being able to use The Extra Mile for the families we support is often a real lifeline. Knowing help is available brings huge relief. One family who had fled domestic abuse said, ‘It’s been like Christmas has come early for us’” – Family Centre Outreach Worker
“We cannot thank The Extra Mile enough. Families supplied with cots and pushchairs feel enormous relief. Pushchairs also help reduce isolation. The Extra Mile responds quickly and with compassion. One mother told us, ‘I don’t have words to thank you'” – Family Centre and Home-Start
