Baby Bank Tendring was established in November 2018 to help families and carers in the Tendring area. We work like the food bank but for babies and children under 5!
We provide equipment, clothing, bedding, and toiletries for ages 0-5 to any family or carer that is in need.
This can be due to any situation including domestic violence, benefits, loss of job, change in circumstances, illness and disability to name a few!
We have four hubs up and running in the Tendring area which we visit monthly to provide the service in Clacton, Harwich, Jaywick and Walton.
We take donations of pre loved items and then are able to re gift them to those who need the service. This can include clothing, Moses baskets, cot beds, bedding, Prams and push chairs and anything that is needed for a baby and children up to 5.
We also need to fundraise for donations to be able to buy new items for health and safety reasons such as car seats and cot mattresses as well as nappies and toiletries.
