In July, we were invited for a tour around Abernecessities, who do incredible work supporting children across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. They aim to provide children with essentials and small comforts and they believe that “no child should go without” 🤍
Our lovely Charities Coordinator Isla was able to take some photos of examples of the donations they have and inside their HQ whilst on the visit and we are so incredibly grateful for the opportunity.
Thank you AberNecessities for having us and for everything that you all do! 🧸🤍⭐️
