00:00So, I was only 35 when I became a millionaire, sounds crazy doesn't it? But yeah, it's still
00:07a really young age, far too young to retire and I wouldn't really want to give this up
00:12to do something different. It's not easy to train to be a midwife, the place is scarce,
00:19it's really competitive, it's a difficult degree and it's a vocation that I love, it's
00:25not just a job and I can't think of anything I'd rather do. So, The Baby Room is a baby
00:31bank that receive donations of pre-loved baby equipment that could be repurposed and reused
00:39for other families who are struggling. Not all of the people we provide care to can afford
00:45to just go out and spend an awful lot of money on essential items they need for the baby
00:51when the baby arrives. I was really happy to have my friends Emma and Annette here today
00:55to help package up these lovely bundles of essential baby items for the most vulnerable
01:01members of our community to find out what The Baby Room does and increase awareness,
01:07spread a little bit of love and they've worked really hard, I'm really grateful.
