Our Granton-based Baby Bank needs your help to sort donations and create vital baby packs for vulnerable families across Edinburgh and the Lothians. We recycle everyone's preloved baby clothes and equipment to provide bespoke baby packs for vulunerable families referred to us by health professionals across the city. We need more help to process and sort the donations and make up baby packs, as the number of referrals we are getting is increasing all the time. We can only process more donations if we have more hands on deck. We’re a very friendly bunch and would so love to hear from you!
