Caroline and Karen spent an enjoyable morning at the Baby Bank. It was a hot morning but they provided fans to cool us down. Caroline was on first checks with a corporate team while Karen did the second checks. It was satisfying to fill up some of the boxes which had run very low with new donations.

It was a belated celebration for Karen's 50th Good Deed at the Baby Bank this morning . She was pleased to receive her medal, but it was business as usual, sorting, sorting and more sorting of donations

Baby Bank regulars Karen and Sheila were delighted to be joined this week by Siobhan who came all the way from GoodGym Camden to help with clothes sorting. The facility was short of volunteers this week, so it was great to have some extra help. We quickly settled into the routine of checking that the clothes donations were of good quality and cleanliness - with Siobhan on first checking and Karen and Sheila following up with a secondary check and putting them away in the correct boxes . A productive morning.

Sheila, Carol and Karen helped at the Baby Bank this morning, following the usual routine of clothes checking and sorting. Punctuated every now and again with a cry for help from downstairs to help carry donations upstairs. We were pleased to be able to leave the sorting tables empty by the end of the session, ready for business to resume after the bank holiday weekend
