Baby Bank regular volunteers Carol, Caroline, Karen and Sheila put in another busy shift. As ever, there was a huge pile on donations to be sorted and checked, double-checked and put away. Some clothes went out straight away to a family in need

It was all hands on deck today at the Baby Bank. With a huge amount of clothing donations to sort through, Sheila was on 1st checks, Carol on 2nd checks and Caroline on Shoes and Adult clothing. With more donations coming in all the time, we tried our best to keep up. We found that many donations were unsuitable due to clothing being stained, ripped or too bobbly. These all found their way into black bags, which were added to the existing mountain due to be recycled any day soon.....

It was a busy morning at the Baby Bank, and with a corporate team in from Centrica, Sheila and Carol were kept busy with doing the second checks on clothes and storing them away in the appropriate boxes. Caroline was asked to do checks on the men's and women's clothes donations, followed up by shoes. Meanwhile after a brief spell answering the door, Karen had the fun task of distributing the Christmas clothing amassed throughout the year into the boxes ready to give out to families. Yes folks, Christmas is coming!

Carol, Caroline, Karen and Sheila were given the job of doing checks on the school uniform donations at the Baby Bank. They were checked for the usual criteria of cleanliness and being in good condition. once finished we moved onto the adult clothing - it made a change but definitely not as cute as the baby stuff!
