Imagine how you’d feel if the worst happened and your child was rushed into hospital.
All you’d think about is whether your child had everything they needed.
The very last thing you would be thinking about would be you.
Packs4Parents was started five years ago to help parents in exactly this situation. You would not have time to think about yourself or to prepare for your own personal needs and this is where Packs4Parents helps.
Packs4Parents provides, at no charge, emergency toiletry packs for parents finding themselves in this situation. The packs include the following items:
- Comb
- Dental kit
- Deodorant
- Ear plugs
- Eye mask
- Face wipes
- Flannel
- Hand Cream
- Nail File
- Pad & Pencil
- Panty pads
- Shampoo
- Shaving kit
- Soap
- Sweets
- Tissues
This initiative is entirely funded by voluntary donations.
If you or anyone that you know would like to support us in any way, please contact Elizabeth on packs4parents@gmail.com
If you are a hospital, or other member of the medical profession, and would like to talk to us, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thankyou for visiting Packs4Parents
"Dear Elizabeth,
A long overdue thank you.
I would like to take the time to say a big thank you for all your support and for your mindfulness of the needs of parents of children in Critical Care.
These Welcome Packs give an important message to parents in a desperate situation, namely that someone, somewhere, thought about them and that they are not alone."
Yours faithfully
Juliet
