In our ongoing investigation into the legitimacy of “Jayne’s Baby Bank”, we recently contacted Caerphilly County Borough Council to verify claims made by “Jayne” in various public posts that she is supported and registered as an official food bank. Relevant examples include: [1] – [2].
We have received direct confirmation from the Senior Duty Officer at Caerphilly Cares that Jayne’s Baby Bank is not supported by their service.
What is Caerphilly Cares?
Caerphilly Cares is a community outreach programme administered by Caerphilly County Borough Council. It provides a range of services to local residents, including financial advice, mental health support, social connection, and urgent practical aid such as food and hygiene referrals. When a resident is in crisis, Caerphilly Cares can directly refer them to registered support services, including accredited foodbanks.
- Foodbank Support: Referrals are made via the Caerphilly Cares Gateway to assist those in urgent need of food or other household necessities.

📌 Official CCBC Foodbank Directory
Caerphilly County Borough Council officially endorses the Trussell Trust system, a UK-wide network of registered foodbanks. Members of the public can use the Trussell Trust’s search facility to locate legitimate, regulated providers in their area.
It’s also worth noting that while Caerphilly Cares coordinates closely with local stakeholders, it currently has no relationship with Jayne’s Baby Bank.
Additional Note on Lottery Licensing
In a separate enquiry, we contacted the Gambling Commission in reference to a Small Society Lottery registration formerly associated with Jayne’s Baby Bank. A key issue is that this registration appears to be tied to a premises from which the organisation has reportedly been evicted. Even more concerning, this premises lies outside of the licensing borough, which may present compliance concerns.
See example post: Relevant post on eviction and location.
As we continue to investigate inconsistencies between public claims and official records, we anticipate further disclosures in the coming weeks. Transparency is in the public interest, particularly when charitable work is being claimed without registration or regulatory oversight.
