Please can anyone help?
The Supporting Families team desperately need some premises, rent free or low rent, because for the last 15 months we have had to work from my 1-bedroom bungalow, as well as my garden shed, and have stock in 4 different places as well as a small storage unit.
Since Covid-19 hit, because the need was there, I had to take the project into my home and garden shed as we had to move out of the Youth Centre due to a rent increase.
I couldn’t let the project fold so the house is filled with boxes of clothes, from birth to adults, as teenagers are in adult clothes these days, baby milk, baby toiletries, toys and bouncy chairs.
We rely on donations of clothes, toys and baby equipment from the people of Newton Aycliffe and raise all our funds ourselves. We have had a lot of support from Rotary Newton Aycliffe and we are really grateful for their support; Shirley, Tesco Community Champion, has also given us a lot of support with baby milk that would have gone to land-fill, she donates to us to help our families.
People can contact us via Facebook or by text on 07725 369915 for help.
