It was another busy morning at the Baby Bank. Chris joined the regular crew for the first time, and quickly got up to speed with the process of first checks on clothing donations. Sheila assisted her at first, but then joined Carol doing second checks. Karen was sorting the adult clothing, but as we worked, many more bags of donations were coming in. Plenty more to do next week!

It was another busy morning at the Baby Bank. Having been closed for half term, it was super-busy with donations coming in. Karen and Caroline had to work hard second-checking clothes which had been first-sorted by a volunteer corporate team. Sheila and Carol were doing a primary sort on the school uniform donations which had been piling up for a while. We got rid of many bags-full which didn't make the grade and left the rest neatly in boxes ready for someone else to second-check and put away

Another busy morning at the Baby Bank. When we arrived the tables were piled high with donated clothes which were waiting for their second checks before being put away. Once those had been done, Sheila continued with this while Karen and Caroline took on the first checks. Meanwhile one of the other volunteers was busy picking out clothes for several referrals, which is what it's all about.

Sheila was joined at the Baby Bank today by Siobhan who had travelled all the way from London. As there was also a large Corporate group in, it was great to have someone with experience to keep up with all the secondary clothes-sorting that needed doing. We were kept busy all morning checking clothes, putting them away, and filling up bags with the rejects.

The Baby Bank was really short of volunteers this morning, and with a Halloween sale on too, it was all hands to the pumps. Sheila and another volunteer were responsible for all the clothes checking, so we got through as much as we could while still keeping standards high.

Caroline, Carol and Karen visited the Baby Bank. Carol carried out second checks on the donated clothing, packing them into the correct boxes. Caroline and Karen were given four crates of school uniform which they sorted into labelled bags so that they could be easily put into the correct boxes later in the week. The task took up the entire session but felt like a job well done when the last crate was emptied.
