Thank you!!
We are so thankful for our growing network of individuals and groups who generously donate clothing and household items that we pass on to families in need.
We are now helping hundreds of women and families every year. We are particularly pleased to be able to offer help to people currently housed in hostels near us who have recently arrived here with nothing.

Baby items - yes please!!
We give many items to pregnant women across the wider Liverpool region who are claiming asylum and are referred to us by their Health Visitors for practical support with their new baby. We constantly need prams, newborn car seats, Moses baskets and all things baby!

What happens to your donations?
When we receive the items, they are taken up two flights of stairs to be checked and sorted into categories. Then they are put on shelves and into boxes in our Donations Room at the Toxteth Tabernacle. The families in need will come into the room and are given time and space to browse and choose what they need. They are given bags to place the items in to take home, or if required a volunteer will help with delivery.
How have donations helped our service users?
We recently had a mum who asked for help, as she and her family had not long arrived in the country and had very few belongings, including one of the children only having trainers with holes in them. The family were able to choose clothing and items needed to keep warm and to do daily activities.
We also had a family expecting their first child. They had no money to buy anything for baby, who was due in a few weeks. Your donations provided some relief to this family as they received everything they needed, from a cot to a full changing bag.
