We're continuing to celebrate Volunteers Week here at The Hygiene Bank Ipswich. So we're highlighting our fantastic volunteer Keir delivering lots of fantastic baby products to the Volunteer-led charity Pitstop. A delivery like this couldn't be done without a whole network of people giving up their time to do good in their community. These donations were possible because of donations from people across the local area, as well as some money given to us from Ipswich Borough Council- so thank you to everyone.
