What a summer it has been!
We’ve provided 820 uniform packs to young people heading back to school this month! These packs ensure each child starts the new school year with confidence, ready to learn.
We could never have accomplished this mammoth task without the generosity and kindness of every single person and organisation who supported us over the summer period, including:
Our supporters who “sponsored a child” and gifted over 250 uniform packs. We truly appreciate the thought and care that went into every single one.
To everyone who donated brand new uniforms, jackets, school bags, PE kits, footwear, stationery, and moreβyour contributions are vital, especially as we met the late-summer demand for uniform packs.
Huge thanks to those who participated in our Fill-A-Bag initiative, donating beautiful school bags and PE bags filled with essentials like tights, socks, stationery, toiletries, and more! You fully embraced this new way of supporting us, many thanks!
Every single monetary donation, large or small, has helped us purchase the stock we needβyour generosity is so important.
A shoutout to the organisations and funders who held events, donated stock, or made donations to support our campaign. You are truly amazing!
To those who donated high-quality second-hand items: your contributions help us top up our uniform packs and reduce landfill.
Thank you to everyone who liked, shared, and talked about our campaign on social media, helping us spread the word and get more people involved.
And a special thanks to those who hosted one of our red collection bins in the community!
Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to our staff team: Abbie, Roz, Janine and Collette, and all of our volunteers, including the Board of Trustees, who all work tirelessly behind the scenes to make all of this possible.
A HUGE THANK YOU to each and every one of you!
The demand for our services continues throughout the year, so please keep supporting us and stay tuned for updates on social media.
