Mum2mum market to return to Warwick in support of fundraising appeal for new birthing unit
The mum2mum market is where parents can sell their nearly-new baby and children’s goods to other parents in the community.
The market will be held at the Chase Meadow community centre and will also help raise money towards a new birthing unit at Warwick Hospital.

Amy To, who runs the mum2mum franchise in south Warwickshire, said: “Our July event went very well- including children, we had more than 200 attending. A queue formed 30 minutes before the door opened.
“We managed to raise almost £200 for the Birth and Babies Appeal which is fantastic.
“We will continue to support this charity in our September sale and volunteers from the charity will again sell refreshments such as homemade cakes, tea and coffee and will have a stall selling preloved items kindly donated by families.”
