It was a delight to meet the team and to see how much you achieve in a small place and in a short time with such astonishing efficiency. The entire vision is one which builds self-respect and makes a huge difference to those women who often have no one else thinking of them. You all deserve huge credit for what you do and I’m very proud that your kindness is making such a difference in Cheshire.

Volunteer Co-Ordinator,
Stockport Women’s Centre

Big thanks for the toothpaste and brush packs, they have been a big help to our women and also thanks for the welcome packs which continue to help brighten the lives of women who come to us seeking support. We are finding the need for food and toiletries is in increasing demand, we had 600 visitors in March alone!!

By being able to offer these donations it has enabled some of our SU's to heat some food up and/or put the heating on, so we want to thank you so much for your contributions.

Project GROW Co-Ordinator,
Cre8

The cost of living crisis has pushed many towards food insecurity and into food poverty. This has led to families making difficult decisions about spending on food. It's also affecting their ability to afford other household essentials like toiletries and toothpaste. So, being able to add both toiletries and toothpaste supplied by Bare Necessities to our food bags is always a welcome bonus, and a nice surprise, to the families using our surplus food grocery. Additionally the packs provided around Christmas time allow us to supplement our Christmas Hampers which we provide to families locally. Thank you to Wendy and her team of volunteers, along with her very generous supply partners.
