If you’re not based in , you probably have a baby bank near you - here’s a map👇

I know things are really tough for so many people - donating and volunteering are not possible. But if you can, simply sharing news and appeals from your local baby bank can help

It takes a village, as Little Village would say ❤️

Little Village says the “values of love, solidarity, thriving and sustainability underpin everything they do”

Resonant, huh?

If you are based in London, could you volunteer?

Little Village uses donations to provide support to families with young children

They’re running low on many items - yesterday, I struggled to find blankets, towels, socks, tights, pants, or *any* clothes for children aged 4-5

They’re also short on safe sleeping solutions - cots, Moses baskets etc

To be honest, demand is so high, everything is pretty short on supply

Could you help?

Did you know 4.2 million children live in poverty in the UK - and 1.3 million of those children are babies and children under 5?

I’ve recently started volunteering at Little Village, a baby bank network in London. I’ve been packing up pre-loved clothes and equipment for families with young children, all donated by people who want to help.

I wonder if you could join them …?
