Baby Bank regulars Karen and Sheila were delighted to be joined this week by Siobhan who came all the way from GoodGym Camden to help with clothes sorting. The facility was short of volunteers this week, so it was great to have some extra help. We quickly settled into the routine of checking that the clothes donations were of good quality and cleanliness - with Siobhan on first checking and Karen and Sheila following up with a secondary check and putting them away in the correct boxes . A productive morning.

Sheila, Carol and Karen helped at the Baby Bank this morning, following the usual routine of clothes checking and sorting. Punctuated every now and again with a cry for help from downstairs to help carry donations upstairs. We were pleased to be able to leave the sorting tables empty by the end of the session, ready for business to resume after the bank holiday weekend

Baby Bank regulars Carol, Karen and Sheila settled down to a peaceful morning of clothes donation sorting. We conquered the piles in the end, that is, until next week!

Today's session at the Baby Bank was a productive and peaceful one, with Karen, Carol and Sheila on clothes sorting while Caroline was asked to take on the shoe challenge. We surprised Carol at tea-break with a medal to celebrate her 50th Good Deed, most of which have been at the Baby Bank where she has become an experienced and valued member of the volunteering team.Well done Carol. Go and order your black Tshirt, and here's to the next 50!

It was a small team at the BabyBank this week as they didn’t have enough leaders on site to host a large team. Carol and Karen were tasked with sorting through the donations to find those on the most needed list and carrying out the first checks on them. It was a very relaxed atmosphere with lots of the chat with the other two regular volunteers. A very pleasant way to spend a morning.

A large group of corporate volunteers were helping out at the Baby Bank this morning, and after dropping off some stair gates Sheila helped out by second-checking the piles of clothes and putting them away. There were some cute hand-knits which had been donated, which had to be sized. All of them were labelled 'with big hugs' from the lady who had knitted them. So lovely!
