Children and Young People

Baby Stuff Braintree

The set-up is similar to foodbanks and parents can use the Baby Bank for essential equipment required for bringing up young children, including nappies and clothes.

 Susan Pedder, Trustee, said: “The need for clothes is often seen as below that of food, but children benefit from self-esteem, so as well as keeping them warm, a new coat adds so much to their lives. There are so many people needing support right now that we are having to buy clothing, rather than rely solely on donations. The grant awarded to us by ECF has enabled us to make a big difference to many more children”.
