Wealdstone Baby Bank opened its doors on April 16 at Wealdstone Methodist Church in Locket Road. The project is run with support from Harrow Citizens, an alliance of local community groups taking action for the common good through community organising. The new baby bank aims to respond to the inequalities and hardship that have exacerbated during pandemic. Products which can be picked up at the baby bank include food, prams, baby seats, and clothes. The team of volunteers behind Wealdstone Baby Bank come from a range of different backgrounds. They are inspired by Babybanks set up by Citizens UK in Peckham and Lewisham, which also provided a space for new parents to build relationships with one another, access health visitors and receive training in community organising.

A care worker from Cardiff is campaigning for fair wages for care workers after having to rely on food parcels from charities when she fell seriously ill with Covid last year.
Edel Anabwani was off work for six weeks after contracting the virus and due to being on a zero-hour contract, her pay stopped.
She then began campaigning by protesting at bus-stops, where she met other carers who were in similar situations.
She said: Anyone on the bus at that time was either going to do care work or NHS or maybe the supermarkets so it was easy to tell just by looking at the uniform, or I could tell they were tired, because these guys were working 24/7 shifts.
