Mobile Creches - India
For over 16 years, we have proudly supported Mobile Crèches, an organisation dedicated to providing quality childcare for families in need. This commitment not only reflects our values but also underscores our belief in the importance of community support and social responsibility. Each year, a portion of our sales from children’s nightwear directly supports Mobile Crèches. This steady stream of funding is crucial for sustaining their operations and expanding their reach within communities. It allows them to recruit qualified staff, maintain high standards of care, and provide resources that enhance children’s learning experiences. When you purchase a piece from our collection, you are not just investing in quality nightwear; you are contributing to a brighter future for families across the country.
Who are Mobile Creches?
Mobile Crèches was established in Delhi 1969 by two women – Meera Mahadevan and Devika Singh. They began by running crèches for children at construction sites which enabled parents to work securely in the knowledge that their children were being well cared for. This was followed by a school for older children and adult literacy for the parents and expansion to other cities. The programme now includes medical check-ups, immunisation, nutrition and hygiene. Over the last 50 years, Mobile Creches have touched the lives of almost a million children and trained thousands of crèche workers.
The Impact of Mobile Creches
Mobile Crèches plays an essential role in the lives of many families, particularly those facing challenging circumstances. By providing professional childcare services at various locations, they empower parents to pursue education or employment without worrying about their children’s safety and well-being. Our financial contributions help ensure that these services remain accessible and affordable for those who need them most.

A Big thank you...
Additionally, with the generous support of our customers, we have extended our philanthropic efforts to several other organisations in the past and present, including Barnardo’s Children’s Charity, Chestnut Tree House, The Salvation Army, St Petrocs Society, and Cornwall Hospice Southwest. Together, these contributions have exceeded £100,000—a milestone that fills us with immense pride.
Barnardo’s
We are proud to support the incredible work that Barnardo’s does by donating end of season stock to them so they can raise funds to continue their support of vulnerable young people all over the UK. Powell Craft is committed to keeping all unsold stock out of landfill and ensure that anything we are left with goes to a deserving place. There are over 100 processes that go into making each and every garment from harvesting cotton to sewing on the buttons and we do not want any of those natural resources and human endeavour to be wasted. Money raised from Powell Craft products in Barnardo’s shops helps to fund their invaluable work with children, research and lobbying.
