📢 Important Update from Josimah Baby Bank Due to the ongoing heatwave and the closure of many schools, we know that many parents are having to stay home with their children. In addition, our storage room has become too hot to operate safely for our volunteers. For these reasons, all referrals, collections, and deliveries scheduled for this week have been postponed. We will be in touch with everyone next week to rearrange appointments. If you require urgent or emergency support in the meantime, please contact one of the larger charities that may be able to assist more quickly during this period: The Cowshed First Days Children’s Charity We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we prioritise the safety of our volunteers and families. Thank you for your continued support and patience. Stay safe and stay cool ❤️ — Josimah Baby Bank
