Story

~~~~~~~~

These past few weeks have been difficult for us all in so many ways. We’re missing normality and being able to see our family and friends and many of us have sadly lost people we care about.

As a charity we have been very limited in the support we have been able to give due to social distancing, however we have still made ourselves available on email and our freephone number 24/7.  Our fundraising has also taken a huge, huge hit as a result of Covid-19.

We have reached a point where we are genuinely concerned for the future of the charity. Our reserve funds have almost run out but we still have overheads, such as insurances, storage fees and our freephone to cover.

The government are currently giving no financial support and their advice is to consider a closure plan if we believe we may not survive these difficult times.

This is the last thing we want, however, there is only so much we can do and only so much we can fund out of our own pockets. 

It’s with this in mind that we are launching our emergency appeal to save our charity. Any money donated will see us through the next few months until we can resume fundraising. ANY amount is HUGELY appreciated. 

And so we ask, please, please consider donating £1 to help us survive these tough times and continue supporting families in the future 💙

Thank you!
