How we help
We help by providing everyday items that the majority of us take for granted, such as a bed to sleep in, a cooker to prepare a hot meal and, in emergencies, food. These items may not cost much, but they can make a massive difference to people’s lives.
We use a network of local organisations that are in the community working with individuals and families in need. Using organisations already in place keeps our overheads to a minimum, increases the efficiency of our services and ensures that we get the help to those who need it when they need it most.
Once a referral is received, we act immediately.
If the need is urgent we can help the same day.
Our team have an expert knowledge of the thousands of benevolent funds in the UK that have money to assist people in need.
For every £10 donated we can raise £50 from charitable trusts that are available to help – all of that £50 goes to those in need.
Once we receive the funds, we purchase the goods required and deliver them direct.
Last year we raised £724,241, all of which went to those in need in our community.
Every night Stacey had to sleep on the floor
Margaret has been looking after Stacey, her grandaughter, since Stacey's mum died shortly after she was born.
Margaret is doing all she can to be a mother to her grandaughter but she is disabled and finds it difficult to get about. Margaret can't work and the family survive on disability and child benefits.
Stacey's bed was broken so she was sleeping on the floor as Margaret couldn't afford to buy a new one.
So we bought a bed and bedding, just £165 made a difference.
