Thousands of pounds in ill-gotten cash is set to be seized from drug dealers and given to a charity supporting new mums and their babies.
Since the start of last year, Liverpool Crown Court has handed over monies taken from criminals to a charity of the month as part of Operation Payback. May's selected good cause was Baby Basics Liverpool, a volunteer-led project run by Childwall-based Freedom Church Liverpool.
Launched in 2015 "to support vulnerable pregnant women across Merseyside", it provides essentials and equipment to mothers and families in need. It has since given away more than 1,000 of its Moses basket starter packs, offering a space for newborn babies to sleep alongside clothing, toiletries and other equipment.
