Over the past few weeks we have been collecting donations for Leeds Baby Bank. They support families in and around the Leeds area who are in need of urgent baby essentials such as nappies, wipes and formula. They also support families by sourcing baby equipment and clothes. We will be continuing to support Leeds Baby Bank so if you have any pre-loved items you would like to donate or  you could provide some nappies, wipes or formula please hand it in to reception and we will make sure it is passed on for you. We are working together to make sure no child in Leeds goes without.
