We love it when children and young people get involved in supporting our work.  We also think it’s a great way to start conversations with children about reusing the clothes, toys, books and other items they no longer need by passing them onto another family that needs them.

If you work at a nursery or school, or your children or grandchildren attend a school that would like to support Baby Bank Network in our 10th year we would love to hear from you!

Why not get the children involved in our 10 for 10 Challenge and organise a fundraising activity that suits their age and abilities, organise a gifts in kind collection or donate funds from an fundraising activity that you usually organise?

Our Santa’s Sack Christmas appeal has grown from strength to strength in recent years, and is now our largest annual fundraising campaign, raising over £26,500 in 2024 through financial donations and gifts in kind.

For the last two years we have been lucky enough to take part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, enabling us to access match funding to double your donations. 

We also ask companies, schools, nurseries and other community groups to organise toiletry collections in the lead-up to Christmas, to help us provide essential toiletries for mums and babies throughout the year.

We will be running a Christmas campaign again this year, and would love you to get involved!  Join our mailing list to stay up-to-date, or contact us on fundraising@babybanknetwork.com with any questions.
