In autumn 2021 I received a bonus from work and a few days before Christmas I decided that I wanted to use that unexpected money to help families who were in a less fortunate situation than we were. I contacted Klaire from the Suffolk Baby Bank who sent me a list of families that were going to go without any gifts for Christmas, and who were asking for things that were everyday purchases to us (shoelaces, wash stuff, new school shirts). It was heartbreaking. Chris and I talked when he got home from work, and that evening he went and bought some more gifts before delivering everything to Klaire.

This year Chris and I wanted to do more so we got in touch with Klaire earlier and we bought gifts for almost 40 children. With the money donated via this page we can help a further 35 more. Any donations not used to help families for this Christmas will be used to start providing early support for families for next Christmas.
