At the Baby Bank this morning, Carol and Sheila were set the task of sorting out all the carrier bags which were in a total mess. There were 2 large boxes of bags which needed to be re-sorted and grouped together so that the volunteers can find the bags they need for referrals without getting frustrated. The charity gets through so many bags - in the last 3 months, the Baby Bank has helped 1800 individuals, and much is supplied in bags. We got rid of a whole load of bags that were broken or unsuitable. Order was restored! Meanwhile Mark was sorting through toy donations, followed by a stint on shoes. Carol and Sheila then moved onto sizing all the donated hand-knitted jumpers and hats, and putting them in the correct boxes Fridays are nothing if not varied!

Providing essentials to families in extreme need

The Baby Bank collects donations of good quality clothes, equipment, and furniture to help families in extreme need. They provide essentials ranging from everyday items like nappies, and wipes to larger items like cots. They support families beyond the baby stage, for example with school uniform. They aim to give all children the best possible start in life.
