We have 6 new charity pots ready to go to their new collection points. If you/your employer could have a charity pot where you work, that would be amazing. Every donation really does help – £20 will buy nappies and baby milk for a new mum, £40.00 will buy a microwave for a family in temporary accommodation; and £70.00 will pay for a food shop for a family of 4. We are all volunteers, and every penny/item donated goes directly to the local families in need
This week, we have provided nappies, food shopping, clothing, school uniform, toys, books, bunk beds, a cot, bedding, a pushchair and are still receiving daily requests for support. The children needing bunk beds were sleeping on a mattress on the floor – we ordered brand new bunk beds and the children (and mum) were over the moon.

Thank you everyone for supporting us which enables us to keep helping those in need
We had a great day at Fete on the Field in Ferndown yesterday and more importantly raised £230.00 to help local families. Thank you to our volunteers for running the stalls and to everyone who supported us on the day.
Thank you Christopher Howard Hughes at Beauty No.1 Salons for choosing to support Ashley’s Birthday Bank; and for inviting us to your launch night to promote our charity to your friends and clients. We really appreciate it
