Baby BRITE Box Project
Kingston upon Thames councillors recently approved funding for the Baby BRITE Box Project, supporting families with early years nutrition.
Kingston upon Thames' South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee approved a £3,000 grant in September 2026 for the Baby BRITE Box Project, run by Voices of Hope. This funding will enable the project to be implemented and evaluated at Chessington Children's Centre, providing weekly boxes of healthy ingredients and weaning equipment to approximately ten families over six weeks.
The project aims to support families with early years nutrition during the weaning stage for babies around six months old. A report to the committee said the estimated cost per family for this intervention is £84, with the grant covering the majority of the project's £3,014 budget. No further discussions are currently scheduled.
