Due to an ever increasing number of referrals, as a consequence of Covid, it is now necessary for the charity to broaden its service delivery, by increasing their age range from 0-5 years to 0-12 years old, creating a Maternity Wear facility and a School Uniform bank. Grant funding will be used to pay for additional items, as requested by the families they assist, to offer the increased level of service delivery, as set out above.
