Story

We’re very excited to announce our Really Wild Swim which will take place this November.

Inspired by a summer at Bristol zoo, we’ve planned a lesson with a wild twist for your last week of term. It'll take place in your usual Water Babies class, and include a specially-devised underwater swim - you’ll be able to collect sponsorship from your friends and family for what may well be your little one's very first sponsored swim!

Baby Bank Network works with 150 partners across the city, including midwives, health visitors, Homestart and Shelter. A team of around 50 volunteers, mainly mums with young children, distribute donations to the city’s most vulnerable families including refugees, victims of domestic abuse, low income and homeless families and teen mums.

While the charity collects donations, it also needs funds to buy new items like mattresses, toiletries and bottle teats, and also to pay rent for a base from which they can collect, clean, sort and distribute these donations.
