Stratford Baby Bank’s new home has been officially opened by mayor Cllr Sam McNaught Barrow. The bank, which provides items and support for families with children under six, moved into a larger home – Unit 15, The Mansley Business, Timothy Bridge Road – earlier this year. On 31st July, the bank was visited by around 30 people including the mayor, Stratford MP Manuela Perteghella and Stratford councillor Kate Rolfe for a launch event. The grand opening of Stratford Baby Bank“We had quite a big turnout and this was perfect for the size of the building,” Julie Hemming, founder of the bank, said.
