Why do we sometimes go quiet?
It's something I've wanted to explain for a while.
Im overwhelmed. The need for our service and the kind residents of our borough.

If you've followed Pass It On Rotherham CIC for any length of time, you'll probably have noticed that the page can go quiet for weeks, then suddenly we're posting every day asking for donations, volunteers or somewhere to call home.
The truth is, it's mostly just me.
Im a single mother...Alongside running a house clearance business to help pay the bills, I'm trying to collect donations, answer messages, move furniture, organise referrals, deliver items, keep the container organised, sell items to cover running costs and somehow find time to apply for funding and search for premises.
At the moment, we're operating from a single storage container that's completely full. Every new donation means moving furniture around to make space, and every referral means trying to find the right item while working around everything else.
I wish I could help everyone, but I simply can't keep up with the level of need on my own. There are far more requests than there are hours in the day.
Please don't think we've disappeared when the page goes quiet. It usually means we're busy behind the scenes collecting, delivering, clearing space or helping people directly.
Pass It On Rotherham CIC is still here, and I'm as determined as ever to make it work. We just need a little more help, a little more space and a bit more time.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, bought furniture, referred someone to us or simply believed in what we're trying to build. Every bit of support keeps us moving forward.
One day I hope to look back on these early days from a proper community hub and remember when it all started in a single, overflowing container.
