No child should be without clothes on their back or shoes on their feet
More local families need help than ever
Rising living costs mean more parents across Wisbech, March, Chatteris, Whittlesey and surrounding Fenland villages are struggling to afford basic items for their babies and young children.
​
Many families are going without essentials such as nappies, clothing, bedding and safe sleep equipment. Our baby bank provides free & low-cost baby items and emergency supplies to families experiencing financial pressure, crisis or unexpected changes in circumstances.
​
At Fenland Families & Baby Bank, we believe no child should go without the basics.

About Us
Fenland Families began in November 2020 during the second lockdown, when local families in Wisbech and the surrounding Fenland area were struggling to access essential support.
​
While volunteering at a nearby baby bank, our founder Rachel saw first-hand how difficult it was for families to get the help they needed. With nothing easily accessible locally, it became clear something had to change.
​
So Fenland Families was created — to provide practical support, essential baby items, and a helping hand to families when they need it most.
​
We’re here to make sure no child goes without, and no family feels alone.
A special thank you to all these local businesses for their continued support!
