211 - a new washing machine and clothes for a family - July 2025

 We are lucky enough to have a number of members who work in organisations that provide vital support to families in Sheffield. We are always pleased to be able to help them plug gaps when they can see something more is needed that will really help ease some pressures for families.

We were recently asked to help a young couple with 2 children under 4 years.
Challenging circumstances mean the family are having difficulties with daily family life and are accessing support to overcome these. They are experiencing financial difficulties and find it hard to manage.
The family are in need of a new washing machine as theirs is leaking and causing damage to clothes and their home.
The family is also in need of clothes. Their support worker has accessed support from Baby Basics for clothes for the children but they do not cover adults, therefore we were asked if we could help purchase some clothes for the adults.
We were only too pleased to send £500 for the family to be supported to buy a washing machine and use the remainder to get some clothes.
We know this will make a huge difference and thank all our members for their support to allow us to make this donation.
