the Eco Shop offering, we provide free sanitary
products, these are provided via T.E.E.S, a

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.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
