Ely Baby Bank has grown to welcome 100 weekly visitors since it launched in 2020. 

Based at Fordham, the free recycling space was set up to provide baby essentials to local families in the Ely and Newmarket area.

Cilla Palmer, who helps to run the baby bank, said: "Visitors are welcome on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to wander around the 10 sheds packed full. There is also milk and nappies.

"Experienced volunteers are on hand to help parents and provide support.

"There is also plenty of parking and toilets.

"The baby bank also provides a local delivery service for those who can't travel to the site."
