incorporated organisation (CIO), our aim is help
relieve some of the problems associated with

focused most of our service efforts to this local
community. We provide the area with an Eco
Shop and also access to preloved clothing and
household items via out Home from Home

project by selling these preloved items.
As well as the project delivered in Hemlington
we also work with other charities, organisations,
social enterprises, local businesses and
agencies to support the Tees Valley where our
remit allows.
Further projects that will benefit the local
community are being developed and will
hopefully be rolled out in the coming financial
year. We also aim to have secured funding for
our core projects for a three-year period.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Eco Shop
We have served over 100 families per week
with their requirements, the individual can shop
and purchase 10 items from the shop for £2,
they can then top up their shop with items we
for free. We have currently saved 5,811kg of
surplus food going to landfill by having this
shop open. This mean food is redirected to
where is it needed and not wasted. As part of
the Eco Shop offering, we provide free sanitary
products, these are provided via T.E.E.S, a
local CIO, who work with the Hey Girls
campaign to end period poverty.
Home from Home
We have provided several families with
clothing, shoes, uniform and small household
items on an ad hoc basis in this financial period.
This comes at a time when families are
struggling so all support is appreciated. During
the next financial year this project will become
permanent and will be there to support more
families more regularly. Any funds raised from
sales of the items go back into the charity and
in turn the community.
