Stripey Stork

Stripey Stork

Stripey Stork collect new & pre-loved baby items and distribute to families in need across Surrey.

Stripey Stork is one of the UK’s largest baby banks who have been successfully supporting Surrey families experiencing poverty with the practical items needed to raise their children since 2013. We help approximately 200 families per week, distributing items worth c.£800k/year for children aged 0-16 years. Our community donate new and preloved baby and children’s items (equipment, clothes and toys), and, with the support of our pool of over 285 volunteers, we clean and check all items. Referral bundles are packed in response to specific requests from our network of over 1022 referral partners who include health visitors, social workers, women’s refuges and schools. We strive to tailor-make every request we receive, with the aim of providing a high-quality service that makes each recipient feel that their local community cares and provides their children with the opportunity to have the 'same start' as every other child.
