Well done Ben The Orange Toolbox

28/08/2026

We’re based in Hellingly and this month we’ve provided bundles to a record 85 local children.

Prams, cots, clothing - we’ve been happy to pass it all on from the generous families who donate. 🥰

Here’s little Miss B - with her new (Baby Bank & Beyond CIC) best friend.

During September we’re going to be asking for winter coats!

Please keep them for us. ❤️

🧥 Do you need warmer essentials for your children?

We’ve already started to pass on kindly donated, preloved warm, winter coats - 12 in the last two weeks.

New coats can be expensive, but they’re a winter essential for keeping children warm and dry.

In September, we’ll be launching a big winter coat collection, passing good-quality, pre-loved coats on to local children aged 0–10 who don’t have one.

If your family needs 0-10 child essentials and you have nowhere else to turn, please get in touch.

You’re not alone — Baby Bank & Beyond are here.

Our volunteers had a lot of Hailsham and Eastbourne deliveries today - a cot, a pram, a highchair, lots of clothes, bedding and toiletries….

We also replenished the Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford Family Hubs at Shinewater with toiletries, summer coats (we have to get rain soon, don’t we?) and lots of shoes.

Pop in there and help yourself (no questions asked).

If you work in a primary school, nursery or community setting and would like your own Baby Bank shelf then get in touch.

AND as always, if you are finding it difficult right now and need a helping hand with your baby to be, baby or child up to 10 essentials, you know where we are.
