Leeds Baby Bank supports 550 families since June 2023 demand increases

Leeds Baby Bank has assisted 550 families since June 2023 due to a significant rise in demand for essentials like clothing and diapers. Founder Chantal Nogbou noted that referrals from health and social care professionals have surged, especially as winter approaches and families face increased living costs. Currently, 70% of the children helped have parents who are employed but struggling with rising energy prices. This urgent appeal for donations underscores the financial challenges the charity faces as operational costs rise, impacting its ability to provide support.
