About Us
Who are we?
Sebby’s Corner believes no child should go without the basic essentials they need to thrive. We offer a range of services such as family referrals where we provide items as clothing, nappies, formula, toiletries and baby equipment and our Birthday Club where we ensure children don't go without gifts on their birthday.
​
Where are we based?
We are based in Barnet EN5 and support families across Barnet, Hertfordshire and London.
Who do we help?
We support families living in poverty, families in temporary accommodation, families who have fled domestic abuse, refugees, asylum seekers and victims of modern slavery and human trafficking. We regularly hear stories of parents who go without food so they can buy formula or parents reusing soiled nappies as they can't afford to buy anymore. Families can be referred to us by any professional such as midwives, health visitors and teachers.

Bianca Sakol MBE, Founder & CEO
Sebby's Corner began in January 2021 when I struggled to find somewhere to donate the clothes my children had outgrown. Less than 2 years later, I am so proud to say we have our own premises, 4 part-time staff and reach thousands of vulnerable children every year.
