Blown away by the kindness of people around Leeds! Someone asked us about baby supplies. Within days, the incredible team at @leedsbabybank had arranged items for her, and, within hours of us doing a call out on social media, we had a delivery driver to bring it to the family.

Did you have a baby during the Pandemic? Healthwatch want to know how was it for you? They want to hear from people living in Leeds who have recently had a baby or who are pregnant. @HWLeeds surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LeedsPregnan… #Leeds #Baby #Maternity #Pandemic
