Volunteers at a community baby bank in Hitchin are looking for larger premises, with the town's MP backing their campaign.

A Lil Something supplies key baby essential items likes prams and baby bouncers to financially-struggling families.

Set up by former midwives, the community interest company has helped lots of families in challenging circumstances.

The volunteers currently operate out of a garage they rent on Grammar School Walk in Hitchin, but they are looking to find a bigger facility, as their unit is currently full and has no working lights.

Hitchin MP Alistair Strathern visited A Lil Something and is now urging owners of premises in the area, who might be able to help out, to get in touch with A Lil Something.

He said: "The team at A Lil Something do invaluable work for so many families in Hitchin. They are community heroes. 

"They deserve all of our help and support with funding to move to a bigger premises.

"I encourage everyone to donate what you can to this great cause, and if you are a landlord or premises owner who can help them out, please do get in touch."
