CareLink has announced the receipt of a £5,000 donation from ARRISE in support of its Baby Bank service, which provides essential items and practical assistance to families with young children across Gibraltar.

A statement continued: "The generous contribution will help CareLink meet increasing demand for its Baby Bank support, ensuring families facing financial hardship can access the resources they need during the earliest years of a child's life.

"The donation will be used to purchase larger baby equipment items that are not often donated or which need to be bought new for safety and hygiene reasons, as well as clothing for children aged three to five, an area where demand frequently exceeds available supplies. A portion of the funding will also support storage solutions at CareLink's Hub, where donated items are sorted, organised and distributed to families in need.

CareLink Co-ordinator, Stephane Yeo, said: "This generous donation is very much appreciated and comes at a time when we are seeing increased demand for Baby Bank support. The funding will enable us to purchase essential equipment and clothing that are often in short supply, while also helping us improve the storage and organisation of donated items at our Hub. We are profoundly grateful to ARRISE for its support and commitment to helping families within our community.“CareLink would like to thank ARRISE for its generosity and for supporting the charity's ongoing mission to provide practical assistance to vulnerable families across Gibraltar."

Paul Dever, CEO of ARRISE, said: "At ARRISE, we believe in supporting the communities where our people live and work. CareLink's Baby Bank provides a vital service to families across Gibraltar, and we are proud to contribute to an initiative that delivers such meaningful and practical support.”
