Our Proud
Partners
Baby Week would not be where it is today without our partners, our sponsors and our amazing babies! They make us feel inspired and the partnership is spreading across the UK!
Helping to make
Baby Week possible
We would like to offer a big thank you to all of our partners who have supported Baby Week and who have diligently worked with us over the last few years. Especially those partners who have worked with us consistently to help make Leeds a child friendly city, enabling Baby Week to become accessible to parents across many regions.
Baby Week Partners in England
Baby Week began in Leeds in 2016 and with the social media hype and the news spreading. Hull and Bradford hosted their first Baby Week in 2018. Events in other locations across UK also took place and in 2020, Cheshire and Merseyside also got on board. In 2021, Leeds launched a new website and invite other regions to get in touch to join Baby Week in promoting the best start with their new toolkit and resources to support you running your own Baby Week!
