The organisation began as a Facebook group to redistribute old clothing seven years ago.

* Mamas Bristol, a volunteer-run organisation started on Facebook in 2018, has expanded to provide essential services for families.
* The organisation helps families save money on food and items, promotes sustainability, and provides support for victims of domestic abuse.
* The group offers soft play facilities for children and has become a "lifeline" for many families.
* A mother who attends the group praised its volunteers, saying they have a "passion" and "love" for what they do.
* The team was recognised with a BBC Make A Difference Award in 2024 for their work supporting families.
