Summary
On this episode of "theLateLateLunchshow", presenter Rod Maxwell speaks with Jed Carter, trustee and Trafford councillor, about Little Green Sock Project — a local baby bank providing clothing, footwear, toys, books and safety equipment to children from birth to 16. Jed explains the charity’s referral-only model, how bundles are prepared and delivered, the rise in demand, and the vital role of volunteers, corporate partners and community fundraising that saved the charity with a £200,000 appeal. Listeners are invited to donate good-condition children’s items, volunteer, or fundraise (including running the Great Manchester Run). More information is available at littlegreensock.org and via their social channels.
