We have provided a microwave for a mum in B & B accommodation who had to take two children down 3 flights of stairs to use the communal kitchen for heating up her babies milk. We hope this makes lfe easier for her

Thank you to Tony Wilson for donating two single beds, Tony and the staff at Glenigan for doing a collection to buy kitchen equipment, utensils etc, and Guy Morgan from D&L Haulage Dorset Ltd for delivering the beds and settee. We have a very grateful mum and daughter, who are re-building their lives following their stay at the refuge.

Thank you to Kaos Beds in Branksome, and Southern Domestic Appliances in Christchurch for providing us a very efficient, personal, confidential service. Local charity supporting local businesses, and vice versa!

After fleeing in the middle of the night following domestic violence, this mum took only a few toys for her chidren and some of their clothes. We have provided beds, mattresses, fridge freezer, toys, furniture, hoover, a much needed family day out etc.

We always feel humbled when we get lovely comments back from our referrals. A few comments we received last week –

“I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I appreciate your help. By the nature of my work as a Housing Family Outreach Worker I am often working with clients who are struggling financially hence the high level of referrals from me. As I am often working with families in financial crisis the food shops you have provided have been an absolute godsend and has often meant the difference in being able to pay a weeks rent to avoid being evicted. The fantastic work you do is hugely appreciated!! Thanks so much for all your help!”
