👀 Still looking for some inspiration for the kids Christmas presents? 🎅 Until 31st December, £1 from each sale of IKEA's magical SKOGSDUVA range will be donated to Baby Bank Alliance to help make a difference to families across the UK, through what is going to be a difficult winter for many. "This range isn’t just adorable, it’s full of imagination and fantasy, helping to ‘play it forward’ when it comes to providing children with play essentials. The support from IKEA will enable baby banks to reach even more families and help the Baby Bank Alliance on our mission to ensure that every child has access to the essentials they need to thrive." Baby Bank Alliance. 🧡 A big thanks to IKEA for their support! Photo: Sam from IKEA Bristol and Baby Bank Network Bristol's CEO, Becky Gilbert in store.

🎁 A special #ThankYouThursday to our friends at Boston Tea Party Cafes on Gloucester Road for hosting a toiletries donation point for us again this Christmas, and for inviting us to their Christmas Fair last week. Next time you pop in for a cuppa over the coming weeks, remember to take your toiletry donations for mums and babies and pop them into the donation box by their lovely Christmas Tree! We will make sure they get to families across Bristol that need them. Photo: Two of our lovely trustees and their 'little Christmas helpers'.
