Extracts from our Newsletter
Jan to Mar 2017
In 2016: 4,734 families / individuals were helped through our support centres:
That is: 90 individuals / families per week or 2.5 families / individuals every hour we are open.
We delivered 1,981 items of furniture – many were emergency responses where people did not have a bed to sleep in.
We assisted 3 Syrian refugee families to start new lives in Reading by helping to furnish their homes.
We provided 1,528 free hot meals to people who would otherwise not have one on a Wednesday.
Reading Borough Council are no longer providing financial crisis support so the destitute and desperate are coming to us to ask for the basic items that we take for granted – a bed to sleep in, a hot meal, an oven, a washing machine.
Could you make this choice?
Pay for electricity or buy ingredients for a basic meal? But not both?
Your donation will provide a lifeline of support to those who come to us seeking practical assistance and a listening friend.
