Birthday presents going to a little girl who would otherwise have nothing to open on her special day

Bed, bedding, toys and baby monitor going to a family who’s child was sleeping on the floor due to poverty

Baby clothes, nappies, toys, winter coat, games and ladies clothes – going to two families currently in the human trafficking refuge

In the last few days, we have provided (or are in the process of providing), 3 x beds/cots for siblings who are all sleeping in travel cots (due to poverty), a weekly food shop for a family in poverty, a single bed for a child sleeping on the floor, a mattress for a child, due to domestic violence, winter clothes and toys for a young child who had no toys at all (human trafficking), and 13 x birthday presents for the children currently in the local refuges.

A moses basket and stand, baby clothes, toys, nappies and bedding – off to a family who were unable to provide for their newborn baby

Baby clothes, play mat, changing mat, nappies, steriliser, toys and hoover – off to a mum due very shortly, who is struggling to provide for her impending birth

Two more last minute uniforms sorted – one for a parent who has been through domestic violence and had been through so much, there were no funds (or energy) left for school uniform; and a Social Worker met a parent with £7.00 in the bank who was worried that their child would not be able to start school this week. We also provided a week’s shopping for them. We hope all the children have a good term at school.

Feedback from a referral this week – “Dear ladies,
I have just received a lovely message from ************** who wanted me to thank you for the school uniform and food shopping , She said that her sons eyes nearly popped out of his head with all the food!!!

You really do make a huge difference to these families.”
