The Baby Bank was founded in 2019 and quickly developed into a vital community resource. It gets good-quality second-hand clothes and equipment for babies and children up to the age of 5 to families in extreme need.

Access to The Baby Bank is based on third-party referral by professionals such as community midwives, health visitors and family support workers.

Reasons for referral include:

- Poverty

- Refugee/asylum seeker status or newly arrived to the UK

- Domestic violence/leaving the family home

- Isolation from family

- Teenage pregnancy

- Military families in need

- Victims of fire or flooding

- Children in emergency foster placements

- Homelessness or living in temporary accommodation
