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!
