Leeds Baby Bank has announced an urgent appeal to raise the £60,000 needed to open their new centre in Armley.
“It’s a stark reality that 40,000 children in our city are living in absolute poverty,” said Leeds Baby Bank founder, Chantal Nogbu.
“We exist to ensure no child in Leeds goes without because of poverty, but lately we have been overwhelmed by the number of people needing our support.
“Currently we have over 200 families needing help and have made the heart-breaking decision to close our waiting list.
“That’s why we are delighted to have found a new home around four times the size of our old one and it will mean we can expand our support enormously! The rush is now on so we can open our doors. It’s imperative we are back up and running as soon as possible.”
