Thank you to Waitrose in Christchurch for choosing us as one of their Green Token Recipients – and to everyone who voted for us. We received a cheque for £269.00, which will be used to continue to help local families with the supply of food, baby equipment, clothing, toys etc.

We were also lucky enough to be chosen as one of the recipients of a share of the Christmas Collection from Expresso Kitchen in Bournemouth and received £90.00!

Every penny raised goes direct to the local families who need it – we are all volunteers who fundraise to keep our Charity going, so we are very grateful for every donation we receive.

Thank you to Nina Kochhar for applying on our behalf, and Mary Barrett from J P Morgan Bournemouth for processing our application for a Community Donation. We were lucky enough to receive a cheque for £750.00 – what an amazing way to start 2017 for us. We will be able to help more local families in so many different ways.

Thank you so much to Chris Hughes from Howard Hughes Consulting for donating £100 to us today. This will help us continue helping local underprivileged families.

Would you consider Ashley’s Birthday Bank as your Company/School/Nursery Charity of 2017?

We are all volunteers who run the charity in our spare time. We help underprivileged families in the Poole, Bournemouth & Christchurch areas, whether they are struggling financially, have been through domestic violence, are victims of human trafficking, cases of neglect, and any families put forward by schools, children’s centres, social services, Liaison Officers etc for some help.

We provide food shopping (a weekly shop from a supermarket with guidance on cooking and budgeting going forward), nappies, baby milk, clothing, baby equipment, household items, toys and books, toiletries, birthday and Christmas presents etc. Unfortunately the need during 2016 has been huge, and we have helped many many families through tough times.

If you would consider us as your Charity of 2017, that would help us continue this vital local service, and every penny/item donated goes directly to these families, so you are guaranteed 100% of your donation goes to the people who need it.

Thank you
