216 - Every day essentials for a family recently arrived in Sheffield - August 2025

 With this donation of £500 we have been able to help a refugee family with 6 children who have recently arrived in Sheffield.


They have been housed temporarily but don't have basics like large saucepans for cooking for 8, a hoover, towels...and so much more. They are struggling to pay for food and necessary bus fares.   Everything is just very difficult.  Our member, who is involved in supporting them, asked if we could help.

We have sent £500 to help them get some of the essentials they need, things they will also be able to keep and take with them to their next house, as well as being able to use some of the money for groceries.

We were pleased to help, knowing they will be supported to get what they need.

We are always so grateful to the organisations out there who work so hard to support families like this, who arrive from such awful conditions and face so many unexpected and unknown challenges in their new home.  The resilience of these families is extraordinary.  We wish them all the best as they settle here in Sheffield.
