Ashley's Birthday Bank
Young People
We want to provide a week's worth of food shopping for 75 underprivileged families in our local area.
About this cause
We provide a crisis service for underprivileged families in our local area. This includes food shopping, toys, clothing, baby equipment, nappies, household items etc. The referrals come from Social Workers, Police Liaison Officers, Health Visitors, Pastoral Care Workers, Refuge Workers etc. The families have been through neglect, domestic violence, poverty or abuse. We are all volunteers so every penny/item donated goes directly to the families in need.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Many of the families we support live in poverty, either due to neglect, financial hardship or escaping domestic violence. We will enable them to get back on their feet, feel confident and less guilty that they can't feed their children.
