The North Shields Baby Bank, based at St John\u2019s Church Percy Main, in North Tyneside, has helped more than 400 families since its launch in March last year with items including nappies, wipes, clothing and baby formula.<\/p>\n
The church is now appealing for help<\/a> to replace its heating system, in order to keep the baby bank operating over the winter months.<\/p>\n Revd Lee Cleminson, Vicar of St John\u2019s, said: \u201cPeople are really, really struggling with energy prices, food prices and the cost of petrol and all sorts of other expenses. They are referred through different agencies and community projects to the baby bank but also there are people who knock on the vicarage door, because I live next door to the church.<\/p>\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n Church run 'baby bank' helps growing number of young families https:\/\/t.co\/zXKLb6P9bJ<\/a><\/p>\n — Canterbury Diocese (@CanterburyDio) June 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
