GIVING HANDS

positively transforming lives

For over a decade since February 2015, we have been providing those in need with more than just food. We have remained at the forefront providing grassroots support for all people within our reach whose lives are a struggle due to the hardship and deprivation that they face daily; irrespective of race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation and background.

Providing those in need with more than just food, we have remained tireless in combating personal hardship whilst also combatting waste.

We are 100% volunteer-led and have remained so from inception to date.

Nutritious Food

We remain committed to providing our service users nutritious food items, fresh fruits and vegetables and toiletries.

Homeless Outreach

We carry out homeless outreach work to prevent people from becoming homeless and then engaging with those who are homeless by helping them find a place to live locally.

Quality Clothes and Wears

We help our service users with quality and good condition clothes both used and new, school uniforms, shoes, bed sheets, household and other essential items.
