A church has made an urgent appeal for funds to get a new heating system - and protect its vital baby bank.
The baby bank, at St John’s Church in Percy Main, North Tyneside, opened in March last year and has since helped more than 300 struggling parents by providing essentials for their young children.
However the Grade II-listed church building, including the room where the donated items are stored, has a failing heating system and there are fears this could result in damp and damage to the products.
