About us
We're here to support families with babies and children up to 18 months old.
What we do
It's very simple. We collect donations of baby items which we then sort and display for families to take whatever they are in need of. We also distribute formula milk and nappies. We are open to everyone and everything is free of charge.
Our aim is to provide a safe space of warmth and support for parents by giving our time and signposting to other resources where needed.
What we stock
We stock pretty much everything you need when raising a baby from 0-18 months. The wishlist here shows the kind of items we regularly have available and the things that we don't take. Items come in and go out very quickly, so we are unable to reserve anything. If there's something you need, just pop over and see us when we're open as everything is offered on a first come, first served basis.
Our café
Open Thursdays 9:30am - 1pm
Come along on Thursdays and enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. These refreshments are provided free of charge so you can relax and meet other families from the community.
We are currently fundraising to build a new café to create a warmer, more inviting space for our families, which we can use all year round. We're grateful for any donations. If you would like to donate, please visit gofundme.com/elybabybank.
Events and partnerships
We love to link up with local parenting groups. We have links with Sharing Parenting, Epic Dads, Soham Support Women's Circle, and La Leche League to name just a few.
One of our volunteers also runs a 'Rhyme Time' in our cafe. Dates are published on our Facebook page.
We view our space as one to be shared and used by community and welcome new links so please get in touch!
Our history
The baby bank was originally set up by a small house church in January 2020 with the aim of working with the community and inspiring others to love their neighbour. It is run by an amazing team of volunteers from the local community. Our ethos is to work together and share our space and time.
