It’s been a busy week for us! Halloween crafting ready for our Pumpkin Trail at Swinley Forest (raising more than £600 so far!), huge thank you to our amazing volunteer Susi for running the trail again for another year. Then a special Coffee Club with spooky games and delicious treats from Free Cakes for Kids, as well as our usual support for families including lots of fun out and about in our van. Phew!

Now Halloween and half term are nearly done … we can start talking about Christmas, right?? We’ve already had hundreds of parents book in to choose gifts for their children - we can’t wait to tell you more about how you can help, next week! 🎄 🎁

Not the most glamorous shot but one of the most meaningful! We are SO grateful for this delivery of 40 brand new Snüz SnuzBaskits donated to us by the Baby Bank Alliance! For 40 local babies this means a safe, warm and comfortable place to sleep. For 40 parents facing financial hardship, it removes an overwhelming cost and brings peace of mind. Thank you so much Baby Bank Alliance

This was in our donations today … any cricket fans recognise the names?

We think we’ve worked it out - not, as our CEO first thought, an unlikely collaboration between ex West Ham chairman David Gold and West Indies cricket hero Chris Gayle!
