Our Pick and Pack team are based in one of our lively baby banks. Together we sort, check, and prepare pre-loved items for children. Volunteers create high-quality bundles of toys, clothes, and equipment to gift to families.

- Create beautiful packages of clothes, toys and books with love and care
- Check donated pre-loved items, so that they are all of gift quality
- Organise checked items by gender, age, and type
- Make smaller gift packs e.g., underwear, socks, bibs and linen
- Safety check and clean buggies and cots, when needed
- Greet and thank people arriving with donations of pre-loved items
- Help loading and unloading gifts and stock for delivery
- Act in a non-judgmental, inclusive and loving way
