Baby Bank Network alleviate poverty in Bristol by redistributing 'pre-loved' baby and children's items to disadvantaged families. In 2020 the organisation distributed 13,000 items to almost 4,000 families - many of whom had little or no income, were refugees, lived with severe mental illness or were homeless. Baby Bank Network is using funding from The Fore to develop a social enterprise arm and generate new income streams, increasing financial sustainability for the long-term.
