Story

Ealing Baby Bank is a local project set up by Ealing Salvation Army to help and support families who are struggling with the cost of having a child. We opened our doors in January 2019 and in just over a year we have helped nearly 300 families. On one hand it is great that we are able to help so many people in their time of need but so sad that this many families need our help. We ask local people to donate baby items to us so we can redistribute these to families in need through a weekly drop in. 

There are a few items however that need to be brand new for us to pass on, items such as Car seats, mattresses, teething toys, teetes to bottles and formula milk. The money that you donate will help us buy some of these essential items for our families.
