Children in Refuge Getting a Happy Christmas

Thank you to Shawn Tayler for this fantastic collection of Christmas gifts. Most of them will be going to Poole Refuge for the children currently staying there, Shawn also raised £60.75 in a collection, and this will pay for a week’s food shop for a parent and child. Everyone’s generosity continues to astound us! Thank you

Bare Floors are Covered

Status Flooring called us as they were clearing out old stock, and offered us carpets. They delivered carpet to one of our referrals today – enough to do her whole house!! She will no longer have cold concrete floors, and her children’s rooms will be homely (together with the beds and furniture we provided last week). Thank you so much for your kind gesture. There will be more deliveries next week to equally worthy recipients
