Our crowdfunding is growing! We've reached 58% of our target down to your help and having an ally from festival.

They have been hosting a 2 weeks conference and sharing the good work we do with their tech friends and getting them to donate to our cause.

We all know how important we need a friend to journey with us and helping us through. It takes time, effort and commitment. Thank you all for your faithfulness! There's still time to donate!

Work is in progress to repaint and tidy the shop from Friday. It was lovely to have an extra pair of hands from City Year who did a day of volunteering and our own staff and volunteers literally putting in their elbow grease. Thank you all for chipping in.

We apologise for the shop is still being refurbished and won’t be open on Monday. Meantime, the food club is open from 1-3 but please use the rear entrance. We hope to reopen by Tuesday.

Please help save us to raise £40000 to fund the purchase of our building. The building was put to auction last week and our offer was accepted but we need to raise this amount to pay the balance.

No matter how big or small, please donate! We need everyone to pull together. We have raised £5506 in two weeks with just 19 supporters. Please roll up your sleeves, and if we can get another 40 persons, we'll be half way to our target.

We are very short on good sofas, beds, wardrobes and chest of drawers. If you wish to donate them, please ring us on 01613715522 and ask for Bev. Please do not leave them outside our premises. We will arrange a collection.

We are planning to make a small refurb to the shop floor this Friday and giving it a new fresh look. The shop will be closed and off limits but the food club will remain open from 1-3pm. The front door will not be open, kindly use the back door to access the food club.

Yes! We made an offer and the landlord has now accepted our offer. The auction was taken off in time. We have now reached 10% of the £40,000 target. Please share widely and help us meet the rest of this target. We are diving deep into our reserves as we pay the 10% deposit and to raise the rest of the funds. Keep us going! Share!

To continue providing our vital services, we need to raise an additional £40.000 to purchase our property which is currently under auction.
