Baby Bank Network Bristol was founded in 2015 around the kitchen tables of three local mums – Becky Gilbert, Eva Fernandes and Melissa Burgers. Donations were collected and sorted in garages and spare rooms by a small group of enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers, often with their babies strapped to their chests!
Baby Bank Network in Bristol are looking for a team member to help us get pre-loved baby essentials to local families via our network of referral partners.
As a predominantly female-led group of volunteers, trustees and staff, today we are reflecting on our work through the lens of one of our Trustees. Lyn Sullivan wears multiple hats at Baby Bank Network as both a trustee and referral partner.
Join Becky Gilbert (our CEO), Morena Staiano (Trustee) and Cath Macleod (ex-trustee and supporter) who are taking on the 10k to raise funds for Baby Bank Network Bristol this year.
Baby Bank Network Bristol is delighted to announce that we have appointed our first ever CEO, Becky Gilbert.
On Saturday 13th May, Sparks Bristol opened its doors for the first time – and we are so excited to be one of the many charities involved. Sparks Bristol is based in the former M&S building in Broadmead, and is a unique and innovative hub of sustainability, creativity and education. With ethical living at its heart, Sparks Bristol is a ‘vibrant, positive venue where local people and visitors can shop, recycle, and explore what a greener, fairer and creative future could look like’. It is the perfect place for us to launch our first retail venue, not just because of its community focus, but because of our shared values around reusing and recycling items that would otherwise go to landfill.
