Our impact

We have supported families from across Cambridgeshire and beyond.

Our impact so far in 2024

To help us understand the impact we are having, we collect data about the items families are taking from the Baby Bank, as well as feedback from the families we support.

Below is just a snapshot of what we have done so far this year. These figures are updated at the end of every month (last updated August 2024).

3,063

Visits to the baby bank recorded

Many families visit us regularly to find essential items for their babies and meet other families from the community. We are open twice a week and welcome around 70 families at each session.

2,157

Bundles of clothes and shoes donated

Almost all of our stock is donated by the local community for reuse, reducing waste and promoting recycling of perfectly usable items which might otherwise have ended up in landfill.

394

Tubs of formula milk distributed

Thanks to our supermarket partnerships, the generosity of the community, and some small grants, we were able to distribute essential milk supplies to families in the greatest need.

460

Packs of nappies given out

Most of our nappies are kindly donated by the community and local businesses. We provide all sizes from size 0 up to size 8.

1,348

Toys and books rehomed

We have a lovely book shed filled with books for parents and babies. Toys are popular with our families and put big smiles on babies' faces.

235

Pushchairs gifted

Pushchairs can be very expensive to buy and are always in high demand at the Baby Bank. Many come in and get rehomed on the same day!

Our reach

We are based in Fordham, Cambridgeshire, but we also reach hundreds of families across Norfolk, Suffolk, and further afield too.
