We were excited to be able to move in to our first storage area in December (thank you #Wickes for the help!) & we're appreciating the extra space! In January we distributed 336kg of products to those of us in need. Thanks everyone!

For many this is reality. For Christmas, they just want essentials. Please look into your heart & buy a needed gift. For the price of your coffee, or parking, you could donate these 6 essential hygiene items. Even just one of these (start from 25p) will help us #EndHygienePoverty
