Baby Bank

Our Baby Bank supports families in need by providing essential baby items and equipment (up to age 2) for no cost, to give children a good start in life. All items are donated by local families and businesses.

The families we support face challenges such as low income, homelessness, domestic violence, no recourse to public funds, social isolation, and physical or mental health issues.

Our service is open to families in all their varied forms, including those who don’t live under the same roof or when a child is living with extended family.

What does the Baby Bank supply?

How to use the Baby Bank

To access the Baby Bank, an initial referral must be completed by a healthcare professional. Families can then self-refer until the child is 2 years old. 

Christmas service

The Christmas service is an annual provision of toys at Christmas for all Baby Bank clients who have used our service in the past 12 months.

Each October, every Baby Bank client is offered the choice to “opt in”, providing a minimum of four gifts for each child in the family under the age of 18.

The gifts are sorted and delivered to the families by our volunteers in time for Christmas Day.

Most of the gifts are donated by Cash for Kids who have supported us for over 15 years.
