Ps & Gs Baby Bank

Our Baby Bank aims to support new and expectant parents, particularly those in financial difficulty, by providing a Starter Pack of essentials for mum and baby and connecting you with people and a service who know the ups and downs of being a parent/carer. We can offer tailored packs and support for families, as well as information on services across Edinburgh. We hope and pray this project will support you and your family in a really practical way.

We’d love to welcome you along to our Babies and Toddlers session(s) on Thursdays from 10.00 - 11.30 am and 2.00 - 3.30 pm where you will be able to meet our lovely volunteers and other parents/carers from across Edinburgh. We serve tea & coffee, biscuits and cakes for our parents/carers and snacks for your little ones. There is a special baby area and our main space is open for toddlers to play. See our Children’s page for more information.

If you would like to be added to our Babies and Toddlers mailing list, please email Rachel (children@psandgs.org.uk).
