I love the city I live in. I love my family and I am very fortunate that I have three beautiful children. Children who have their every need catered for, and for that, I am truly thankful, writes Liz Conner.
So who am I? My name is Liz and I live in Bramley; just a regular working mum doing my best to raise a family in a beloved community.
Unfortunately, not everyone in Leeds is as lucky as I am. When it came to giving a little back to my local community, I had to look no further than Leeds Baby Bank.
Leeds Baby Bank is a voluntary organisation, which works tirelessly to help supply baby essentials to families in need across the city.
In these times of financial restraint, services are struggling to meet demand and an alarming number of people are living in extreme poverty. It is essential that we help support our community by ensuring that voluntary services like this can continue to support our residents.
Baby sale in Bramley
I am holding a Baby Sale to help raise money for this vital service.
Join me on Saturday 7th July at Trinity Church, Town Street, Bramley from 11am until 2pm. There will be new and used baby items for sale plus homemade cakes and refreshments.
A raffle will be held and prizes include a 1:1 session with the West Yorkshire Sling Library, free class at Baby Bonding chocolates, alcohol and much more.
If you have any items you would like to donate, or can offer a hand on the day, please contact me on lizconner_82@hotmail.co.uk.
If you would like to find out more or volunteer your time, Leeds Baby Bank are holding an Open Day on Saturday 30th June from 11am until 2pm at their new base, Unit 4, Upper Mall, St John’s Centre, Leeds, LS2 8LQ.
