Our partners
As the UK's leading baby signing organisation, we often approach, and are approached by, other leading baby-related charities and companies with whom we work in partnership. Very often, they come to us asking if we'll act as their consultants in the field of baby signing. Or they might be a charity that we feel a particular affinity with, and who we then work with to raise money. Listed below are the organisations we currently work with - with an explanation of what we're doing together. |
