Baby Bank Climbed Snowdonia!

There were 13 of us that set out to climb Snowdonia on Saturday 16th September 2023 in aid of the Bicester Baby Bank. Money raised help go towards restoring our everyday essentials shelves, which includes nappies, wipes, toiletries, formula and food and with the extremely high costs of all this at the moment you can imagine just how quickly it goes off our shelves.

Across the team of climbers we managed to raise an incredible £3000 - we want to say a huge thank you to all those that donated to help fund our amazing charity to help those in need. Keep an eye on our fundraising pages to see the latest ways we are fundraising - it will have links for you to follow in order to donate too.

Thanks also to the incredible climbers - a hard days work but a huge help to the charity that we all appreciate :)

We recently completed a report for our grant from the National Lottery. Have a read through to see what's been going on since we received the grant!

December Newsletter

We're a bit late in getting this out to you so please accept our apologies but its been a busy old time!

December was an extremely busy month for us. Not only were we busy handing out bundles of clothing, equipment and everyday essentials but we also distributed our Christmas bags.

We had a really great response to people donating the bags, we had a great range of ages donated and were lucky to get a special grant from the Mayor of Bicester to cover any ages that we didn't have.

Schools, health visitors, midwives and support workers worked hard to give us lists of families to support. We ended up giving 229 bags to children across Oxfordshire! Such an amazing achievement and a joint community success also!

Thank you so much to everyone who supported the scheme.

In December we also found out that we won the Charity and Community award at the Cherwell Business Awards!! We were so excited just to be nominated so to actually win was just amazing!

Because of Covid the the normal gala dinner couldn't go ahead so onto zoom it was!

During the day the wonderful people from Oxford Fine Dining dropped off a hamper full of goodies to enjoy on the evening.

We were up against two other brilliant charities - Clean Slate and The Sunshine Centre, who were both very deserving too. We didn't think we'd win as a new charity and not yet being as established as the other two.

Thank you so much to Tami from Nicholsons for believing in and us and for all her support.
