    We run a local clothing bank supporting children aged 10-18, providing essential items to young people who might otherwise go without. While we are grateful for the generous donations of clothing we regularly receive, there are several everyday essentials that are often overlooked but urgently needed. These include toiletries such as shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, shower gel and feminine hygiene products, as well as new underwear, socks, school shoes, and durable school bags. These items significantly improve a young person’s comfort, confidence, and ability to fully participate in everyday life. We are currently seeking support in the form of donations of these essential goods to help us continue meeting the needs of the children and families we serve.
