</div>
<div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f">
<div dir="auto">As many will know, earlier this year we started our new "Pop-up" Baby Bank initiative to provide our services further into the community at social events across the district. Our pop-ups were really well received and have been a great success, but it was clear that to make all the extra travel and hauling donations around work over the longer term, we really had to find a bit of investment.</div>

<div dir="auto">Only a few months on and not only have we been sucessful in our application for Lottery funding, but we wasted no time in putting that money to good use!</div>
</div>
<div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f">
<div dir="auto">Thanks to the funding we've now been able to buy, tax and insure a van to help transport all your amazing donations, getting them where they are needed most! With the extra bit left over we will also be hiring a sign writer to do a vinyl wrap on the vehicle to help raise awareness, as well as kitting out the interior with storage to keep things safe, secure and organised!!!</div>
