Baby bank launches to support families and cut waste

Read More

A new baby bank has opened in Lincolnshire to provide essential items for children aged up to three while encouraging the reuse of quality goods.

Run by Citizens Advice Mid Lincolnshire with support from Lincolnshire County Council, the Baby Bliss Baby Bank serves families in Boston, Sleaford and surrounding areas. It offers donated prams, clothing, toys, highchairs, baby baths, Moses baskets without mattresses, baby walkers, books and other items.

Donations in clean, good condition can be dropped at Tattershall Household Waste Recycling Centre from Friday to Tuesday between 9am and 3.50pm. The scheme aims to address local demand, with over 1,200 families seeking children’s support last year.

By rehoming unwanted items, the project reduces waste that would otherwise be incinerated. Families using the service can also access wider help from Citizens Advice, including guidance on benefits, debt and grants.
