achievements of the charity
during the year

1067 EXTERNAL AGENCY REFERRALS. THIS IS AN
INCREASE OF 52.8% COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN
2021/2022

IN JULY 2022, WE EXPANDED. THE BABY BANK WAS
SITUATED ABOVE OUR CHARITY SHOP AT 19 WESTGATE.
WE MOVED THE BABY BANK NEXT DOOR TO 21 WESTGATE.
THE LARGER PREMISES ENSURED WE COULD HOLD MORE
STOCK AND INCREASE OUR RESPONSE TIMES.

IN JANUARY 2023, WE PROUDLY OPENED A COMMUNITY
HUB WITHIN THE BABY BANK. OFFERING SIGNPOSTING,
SESSIONS AND DROP INS RUN BY OUTSIDE AGENCIES,
DISCRETE COLLECTIONS. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE
COMMUNITY OFTEN CALL IN TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
WHAT WE DO

RELOCATING THE BABY BANK CREATED SPACE IN OUR
CHARITY SHOP. THIS ENABLED US TO OPEN UP A
DEDICATED CHILDREN’S CLOTHING SECTION UPSTAIRS.

OUR CHARITY SHOP CONTINUES TO HELP US TO BE MORE
SUSTAINABLE AND PROMOTES A CIRCULAR FASHION
INDUSTRY. THIS REDUCES LANDFILL

OUR INTERNAL DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED. WE HAVE
THE FACILITY TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY THE NUMBER OF
BENEFICIARIES, AREAS OF DELIVERY, PROFESSIONALS
SUPPORTED, MILEAGE, ETHNICITY ETC. THIS ENSURES
WE CAN PROVIDE ACCURATE EVALUATIONS.

AGAIN WE HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF
VOLUNTEERS DUE TO THE INCREASE IN REFERRALS,
OPENING OF THE COMMUNITY HUB AND EXTRA FOOTFALL
IN OUR CHARITY SHOP

WE HAVE WELCOMED VOLUNTEERS FROM LOCAL
SCHOOLS WHO ARE WORKING TOWARDS THEIR DUKE OF
EDINBURGH AWARD

WE SAW ANOTHER INCREASE IN THE DIFFERENT TYPES
OF PROFESSIONALS USING AND KNOWING ABOUT OUR
SERVICE. SAFEGUARDING LEADS AT SCHOOLS ARE NOW
CONTACTING ABOUT FAMILIES WHO WOULD BENEFIT
FROM OUR SUPPORT

BUILT UP INCREASED RELATIONS WITH LOCAL CHARITIES
AND NON-PROFITS. WE HAVE INCREASED OUR REACH
WITH SUPERMARKET COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS WHO WANT
TO SUPPORT THE BABY BANK

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH LOCAL
SCHOOLS. WE VISIT THE SCHOOLS, EXPLAIN ABOUT THE
BABY BANK AND HOW THEY CAN HELP US. WE HAVE
WELCOMED CLASS VISITS WHERE THE CHILDREN HAVE
BEEN EXCITED TO BRING THEIR DONATED ITEMS

WE’RE STILL PROUD OF OUR RECYCLING ETHOS. IF AN
ITEM IS UNUSABLE, SOILED OR BROKEN, WE ENSURE
THAT IT’S RECYCLED AND DOES NOT GO TO LANDFILL
