Manchester Tech Festival 2024 has chosen to support Bare Necessities with donations from this year's event. Running from 28th Oct - 8th Nov, it's a two-week long festival for the tech community which we're delighted to be associated with.

We're kicking off the cosy Christmas season with a Festive Sing Out with Cheshire A Cappella. We're fundraising in the Big Give Christmas Challenge where every donation has the chance to be doubled!

Our team is once again sponsored by Redrow and we are recruiting runners for either the Asics 10km or the Waters Wilmslow Half Marathon. In exchange for a place on team BN we just ask that you will commit to raising £200 sponsorship, or hopefully a lot more.

We’re delighted to announce that Bare Necessities has been chosen as the Charity Partner for the next Wilmslow Running Festival on Sunday 23rd March 2025, where we will also be entering our very own team of runners.

36 Runners took almost half a million steps in the Wilmslow Running Festival to run hygiene poverty into the ground

Friends, volunteers, supporters and sponsors of Bare Necessities are gearing up to run either 10k or the half marathon, to boost fundraising.

We've had a jam packaged year full of amazing achievements supporting those who need us most.

For some children it’s not that easy with all the associated expense making it a huge challenge. How will they afford the ticket, the outfit and the make up to be able to get themselves prom ready?

Almost 300 pamper packs were “made with love” by Bare Necessities volunteers and handed to children and young people to give to their deserving mothers on Mother’s Day.

The High Sheriff of Cheshire, Jeannie France-Hayhurst, made a very welcome visit to Bare Necessities Toiletry Bank to find out more about what the charity does.

With just over £1,000 raised from our coffee morning☕️ we’d like to thank everyone for coming to support our cause

Meet Claire Acton, neighbour and great friend to Bare Necessities. It seems impossible to believe that just a few short weeks ago she didn’t even know how to thread her machine!

@bbcbreakfast are helping to keep the conversation going with their wider piece this morning on hygiene poverty, it’s effects and impact.
