“As quickly as donations come in, they are straight back out the door.'

As the cost-of-living crisis is inflating prices, many parents and guardians are left unable to buy essential items, like food.

The 45-year-old added: “Unfortunately, it’s almost £14 for a tin of formula, our most popular one that goes out the door, and not everybody who is going shopping can afford that.“It’s heartbreaking more than anything. Everyone now is hit, it's not just the low-income families who are struggling in this crisis.Since launching its appeal, the charity has received generous donations from several organisations and individuals, for which they are grateful.

If anyone would like to donate to Glasgow Baby Food Bank Limited, they can do so by dropping items off at 110 Flemington Street in Springburn.
