Perople are referred to Baby Bank Norfolk from a wide variety of professionals, including GPs, midwives, social workers, housing associations, children's centres and many others. There are also a huge number of reasons for referrals - sometimes people are struggling with poverty, or are going through relationship breakdowns and are without things they need, or are fleeing domestic violence situations, or are refugees.

We're extremely grateful for all the donations and financial support we receive, which goes straight to where it is needed.
