Dispatches

Born on the Breadline (2018x25)

Fecha de emisión: Oct 29, 2018

As Prime Minister Theresa May declares that austerity is over, the programme reveals the growing number of parents now using baby banks to provide their young children with nappies, clothes, toys and cots, with the vast majority having been set up since the austerity programme began. For the first time, Dispatches has surveyed these baby banks, to get a sense of who they're serving and the services they're providing and meeting working parents who can't afford the most basic essentials and have to rely on baby banks to provide for their children.
