Good morning.
After trying to donate some of my own babies bits and discovering that the nearest baby Bank was as far as Crawley or Chichester (!) we decided that there was a gap that needed to be filled in our local area. From this the idea of the Little Storks Baby bank was born. Covering Lancing and Worthing, we aim to provide baby essentials to family's who are in need of a little extra support in these difficult times.
Statistics show that there are 4.3million children now living in poverty in the UK and this number is rising, exacerbated by things like the rise in the cost of living and the 2 child benefit cap. We want to make things a little easier for families who may be struggling now, or who may need a little extra help in the future. We will be holding regular pop up sessions in both Lancing Parish Hall and Worthing Broadwater Support Hub and will also be accepting referrals, currently for babies and toddlers newborn to 2 years of age.
If you are in a position where you can spare a little change to help towards this new venture it would be very much appreciated.
