MILESTONE MOMENTS - WE ARE 5 🎉🎉

Thank you to the anonymous sender of these fabulous balloons to mark FIVE YEARS OF IMPACT.

Over 30,000 children and young people have moved with a comfort case in the 5 years since we began our mission.

For every hour you’ve given.
For every post you’ve shared.
For every donation you’ve made.

For every child you have moved with their own bag and showed care and kindness on their first night in a strangers home.

Thank you 🎒🎉

🦥 MEET BARRY! 🎒

Hello everybody! I’m Barry, and I’ve got a very special adventure ahead of me!

November is Care Leavers Month, and I’ll be taking you along on my journey as I get out and about, spreading the word about Comfort Cases UK and raising awareness about the difference we can all make.

I’ll be sharing my adventures, meeting new people and finding ways to get everyone involved along the way.

Every young person deserves to feel valued, supported and cared for, especially during times of change.

So, keep your eyes peeled, follow along and join me on my November adventure!

Let’s make a difference together. 💙

My volunteering at comfort cases - video by Luis.

Hi I’m Luis, I’m 12 and I’ve been volunteering at comfort cases in the school holidays for over a year.
Today we helped pack toiletries, and put away your donations on the shelves.
I like coming here because the community is lovely and the impact is strong - we help reach children who might otherwise not get help. The different types of people I meet when I come here is amazing and it shows how many people care about the children we support.
Plus - I love the volunteer biscuit tin! Chocolate bourbons are my favourite!

PAW OF APPROVAL 🐾

Working with the lovely ladies at Mirrored Memories | Personalised Event Décor to create wearable merch with a purpose.

Looking forward to creative sparks flying and more ideas than any of us can deal with being put into the mix.

Trusting someone with your identity is huge.

Quality, honesty, integrity and support from a local business who takes time to learn about your work is genuine support.

We’re excited to share more with you soon.

Comment below what you’d like to see in the collection and we’ll add it to the conversation. 👇

It’s theirs.

It’s clean.
It’s unexpected.

What do you call a group of handmade Barry’s?

Well in the Southeast England Soroptimists and The Women's Institute in Bromley and West Kent they are known as A SNUGGLE!

Spearheaded by the tireless energy of Mary D, and started as part of Dr Roxanne St Clair | Leadership Coach “charity of the year” during her presidency, we are thrilled that this is now an ongoing project.

As the days are drawing in, if you are a knitter, crocheter, quilter or sewer and would like the patterns - please reach out to the SI for more information through their website or via the tagged page.

We cannot wait for children to receive these crafted gifts.

On 2nd November 2026 we celebrate 5 years of impact supporting over 20,000 children and young people move with dignity, love and the message that they matter.

In that time, with the support of an amazing team, I have asked you to find ways for us to make that possible - whether you’ve been to volunteer, sent something from our Amazon wishlist, held a packing day, made a monthly donation. Together, we have made a difference to so many children and young people.

Now I’m asking you to help me personally buy 1315 soft toys for children to hug at a time when they need comfort most.

I’d love to raise £5000 to mark our 5th year of impact.

DISCLAIMER - I’m not a runner 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🤣

I have already booked my place for the Herts Half, so I’m committed but I still have the option to pull out at the last minute - UNLESS I know how many children I will be letting down.

Please get me to start line, and help me cross the finish by giving whatever you can on my Justgiving page.

I promise to keep you updated - the running game is real 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

If you want to join me or do the 10k on the same day, please book on through our website https://comfortcasesuk.org/comfortzone/.

Every little genuinely will help us buy a Barry for a child entering, moving or leaving care.

No child should carry their belongings in bin bags.

Thank you for always standing by the children we support. Love from, Sarah
