Right now, charities, community groups and food banks are needed more than ever.

In our latest survey, our charity network told us that their largest concern is their declining income, combined with dramatic increase in demand for their services. They tell us that keeping people clean, safe and well during these challenging times is their top priority.

At In Kind Direct we're here to help. Our support helps charities double their reach. Right now, this is never more needed.

In response, we have launched our #commUNITY initiative; a ramping up of our operations to actively increase the scale of donations and support for more communities. We're working with our corporate partners to secure a supply of the most needed items - from hand wash and PPE to laundry detergent and toilet roll - ensuring everyone has access to the essentials they need, when they need it.

Bringing our corporate partners together with our charity network creates real impact and builds stories of hope, care and kindness. Whilst we have to stand apart, there's never been a time to be more together.

If you can, please give to help us to do more. Together we can continue to help those most affected:

* £15 could help us get toilet rolls, hand wash and toothpaste to 8 households.

* £50 could help us get essential cleaning supplies, clothing and indoor activities to 30 families.

* £250 could help us to get essential personal care, kitchen, cleaning and laundry products to 150 households.
