As the weather warms up and heatwaves approach, please remember to take care of yourself and stay safe ☀️

To anyone using antidepressants or antipsychotics, please make sure to take extra care in the hot weather by staying hydrated, cool, and in the shade where possible 🫶

Share this for anyone who might need this reminder 😎

Thank you so so much to all the amazing humans who donated to the Easter Collection 2026 💜 I can’t express how thankful I am for this local community and the hearts of the people to give so kindly and selflessly, huge gratitude to each and every human who donated 💜

Your donation makes such a difference for women who may still be living in the situation and their partner is not allowing them these items (these are realities - women not being allowed bed sheets, abuse comes in many forms, stripping back identity and dignity is one of these forms) (no towels to prevent hygiene practices) /for women and children coming into refuge - when they flee they have to leave everything behind, going into a place of safety and having cosy blankets/sheets/fresh towels- all these items bring comfort ❤️

A huge thank you to all the support workers at our local women’s aid - they work so hard to help bring women and children into a place of safety - that place of safety means everything!

Thank you so much to Julie from WA who helps to distribute all the donations! They go quickly! Which is a reminder of the severity and the crucial need for these donations.

A special thank you to our local garden centres for being drop-off points and to my Dad Lawrence for helping transport donations too!

Thank you for being donation drop-off points:

Whitesyke Garden Centre Of Longtown
Heathhall Garden Centre
Barr's on the back road
Dalbeattie Garden Centre

Thank you to my husband Sandy who has been helping to transport donations too!

Thank you to our local community again in Dumfries, Dalbeattie, Heathhall, Annan, Eastriggs, Carlisle, Haltwhistle, Longtown - your donations are helping your neighbours 💜
