It was another busy morning at the Baby Bank. Having been closed for half term, it was super-busy with donations coming in. Karen and Caroline had to work hard second-checking clothes which had been first-sorted by a volunteer corporate team. Sheila and Carol were doing a primary sort on the school uniform donations which had been piling up for a while. We got rid of many bags-full which didn't make the grade and left the rest neatly in boxes ready for someone else to second-check and put away

Caroline, Carol and Karen visited the Baby Bank. Carol carried out second checks on the donated clothing, packing them into the correct boxes. Caroline and Karen were given four crates of school uniform which they sorted into labelled bags so that they could be easily put into the correct boxes later in the week. The task took up the entire session but felt like a job well done when the last crate was emptied.

Baby Bank regular volunteers Carol, Caroline, Karen and Sheila put in another busy shift. As ever, there was a huge pile on donations to be sorted and checked, double-checked and put away. Some clothes went out straight away to a family in need

It was all hands on deck today at the Baby Bank. With a huge amount of clothing donations to sort through, Sheila was on 1st checks, Carol on 2nd checks and Caroline on Shoes and Adult clothing. With more donations coming in all the time, we tried our best to keep up. We found that many donations were unsuitable due to clothing being stained, ripped or too bobbly. These all found their way into black bags, which were added to the existing mountain due to be recycled any day soon.....

It was a busy morning at the Baby Bank, and with a corporate team in from Centrica, Sheila and Carol were kept busy with doing the second checks on clothes and storing them away in the appropriate boxes. Caroline was asked to do checks on the men's and women's clothes donations, followed up by shoes. Meanwhile after a brief spell answering the door, Karen had the fun task of distributing the Christmas clothing amassed throughout the year into the boxes ready to give out to families. Yes folks, Christmas is coming!
