Need Support?
If you need support from the baby bank, please speak to a professional who can refer you. Every family has a number of professional people linked to their family so please don't worry about finding a referrer. Any of the following can refer you to us:
Any NHS professional for example a midwife, GP, health visitor, community nurse, family support worker etc
A nursery, pre-school, primary or secondary school teacher
Other charities for example Homestart, SOFEA, SOHA etc
A religious leader
Citizens Advice and many more organisations

Please click on the link below and complete the referral form.
Please note, you can only make a referral if you are a professional who is working with the family.
If you have multiple families to refer, please complete a separate form for each beneficiary.
If you don't have a Google account you can still submit a referral form (just not save it).
What happens next?
Once you have made a referral, we aim to have the bundle ready for collection within 7 days. Either you or the beneficiary must be able to collect the items from Didcot Baptist Church, Wantage Road, OX11 0BS on a Tuesday or Friday between 11am - 1pm. We will contact you via the contact details you provide when the items are ready to be collected.
We will not pass on any details unless we have a safeguarding concern.
If you have any questions or an urgent request, do not hesitate to email us at contact@firststepsbabybank.co.uk.
