Did you hear about our
Baby Bank?
We’re incredibly proud of one of our newest projects – the Baby Bliss Baby Bank – a project created to support local families who need a little extra help.
Right now there is no baby bank provision in Boston or North Kesteven, meaning families must travel miles to access essential items. With the rising number of families needing support accross the UK, we know how important it is to have help closer to home.
If you’re pregnant or have a baby aged 0-3 years and need support, we can provide advice and essential items for free to help you and your little one thrive.
Donations
As well as physical items for the bank, we are also accepting monetary donations on our crowd funder page below.
Donations will be used to purchase items such as nappies, wet wipes and baby toiletries. Donations will also help to cover staff and volunteer costs.
