Khan vows to set up ‘baby banks’ in every London borough if re-elected mayor

Charities will offer free childcare essentials such as nappies and bedding, says Khan, promising to support city residents from birth

Baby banks could be rolled out in every London borough for families to access free essentials for their children, as part of Sadiq Khan’s bid to win a historic third term.

The London mayor will launch his “safer, fairer, greener London” manifesto in south-east London, pitching how his policies will support young Londoners from birth to securing a job and finding an affordable home to buy or rent.
