Share the love

At the Baby Bank, it was collection day today for the bags of donated clothes which had been rejected as being unsuitable. So we all got a great work out, carrying dozens of bags out to the collection van, which was filled to the gunnels by the end. This was Alain's first visit to their new location, and it was straight in at the deep end. With this being the last day of opening before the half term break, everything was extremely busy with people dropping off items in response to appeals for certain items as well as referrals being collected. Including a family sent by their midwife to pick up clothes and equipment for a newborn before being induced the next day! Talk about just in time! It all brought home how vital a service the Baby Bank provides Kudos to Alain for cycling the (very!) long way round to the Baby Bank and for getting stuck into clothes sorting

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.
