Kate Middleton is celebrating the expansion of one of her most meaningful endeavors, the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Today, the charity announced the new Baby Bank Alliance, which brings together "over 300 baby banks across the U.K. to provide supplies to families in need," according to People. And to announce the news, the organization shared photos of Kate and her kids visiting a baby bank last year, as well as snapshots of the Princess of Wales working with the charity back in 2022.

One photo showed an outing that coincided with Christmas 2023, where Kate and her kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, helped out. Specifically, the Baby Bank Alliance shared an image of Charlotte helping sort clothes, toys, and other donations.

"You can see how rewarding this kind of work is knowing you are helping out others," Princess Kate said in a video that was also shared, which included a clip of her wrapping her arm around Prince George's shoulder.

"Over the past few years, the Princess of Wales has visited several baby banks to highlight their crucial work in supporting families with babies and young children. Organizations like baby banks play a vital role in helping to give parents and carers the capacity to provide the nurturing care which is so important to babies and young children," the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood captioned the carousel. "Today, we’re delighted to see the launch of The Baby Bank Alliance, a community of over 300 baby banks supporting families, babies, and children in the U.K. with access to the supplies and clothing that they need to thrive," it continued. "Our relationships, experiences, and surroundings in our earliest years lay the foundations that shape the rest of our lives. Supporting parents and carers, who are doing their best to provide for their families in incredibly challenging circumstances, is essential and can have a life-changing impact."

Kate's team shared the news, as well, and the Baby Bank Alliance commented, "Thank you for your support." The new Baby Bank Alliance is a team effort between Save the Children, Purposeful Ventures, Baby Bank Network Bristol, and Little Village and works with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood and the larger Royal Foundation. Kate and her husband, Prince William, began working together on bringing awareness to early childhood development and family welfare back in June 2021. The Royal Foundation describes Kate's last effort, Shaping Us, and the latest initiative as "a major new awareness-raising campaign to increase public understanding of the crucial importance of the first five years of a child's life."
