Our brave Kate. Will you be joining us on Wednesday?

If you ever wonder what MacMillan do and where the money goes here is first hand experience from one of our intervention workers, Kate. Our MacMillan coffee and cake will be running next Wednesday (23rd) from 10am.

"After being diagnosed with cancer my whole world completely exploded. MacMillan supported me through all the unfamiliar and terrifying aspects of my cancer diagnosis.

Right from the start they were there with everything from information about my treatments to financial advice and help. They gave me coffee along with soft little hats for my freshly bald head, and were always around if I ever needed them.

Their base at Newcross became a safe haven for me to drop into whenever I needed to talk, or even just rest along the walk from one hospital department to another. They always had time for me, and offered comfort when the tears burst out and celebrations when I hit treatment milestones. They understood and they care.

As someone who has worked as a counsellor for many years I was also aware that this was something that would be really important for me to access at some point and, when I was able enough, Macmillan set me up with counselling. This was absolutely invaluable, giving me space to rant, cry, process and work through all the emotions that came with this cancer nightmare.

They do so much good work for so many of us going through such difficult times, and alongside Base 25 (who have been absolutely amazing!) are a charity who deserve all the support we can offer."

"Look after the pennies and the pounds take care of themselves" the old saying goes.

We look after both. Our bargain prices are going even lower for 4 days only.

In fact everything will be half marked price.
Pop the date in your diary, bring your shopping bags, and spend those pennies.

Date 29th June to 2nd July.

This week is Volunteer' Week, we are celebrating our volunteers and those that are here from volunteering.

Volunteering is a great way to gain experience in a chosen field, and here at Base 25 we offer a variety of different opportunities.

This is Ben
Ben has recently joined the Base 25 team as volunteer in our community team.
"I help out in the charity shop, going through each item of clothing to make sure everything is neat, tidy, have price tags and are in good condition."
"I'm hoping that in the future I will be able to be more confident in myself and will be able to thrive better in a work environment and put my all into being someone who is reliable and always ready to help and Base 25 is helping me with that by giving me those opportunities to be reliable, helpful, and increasing my self confidence"

Ben's volunteer work within Base 25 is invaluable, and we love having him as part of our team.

We are taking advantage of Volunteers' Week to celebrate the great volunteers we have at Base 25, and those at Base 25 whose career started with volunteering.

Today we thank Lisa for all everything she does, from supporting the charity shop to group work and many things in between.

Lisa kindly wrote about her time with us.

"....spending time at Base 25 has given me a safe space to regain my confidence, build up my resilience, and get back on my feet. The friendly and caring staff have made me feel accepted and appreciated"

"Base 25 have provided me with the support to return to fulltime employment with new coping skills that will help me maintain a steady job"

Seeing Lisa grow has been lovely for everyone she has worked with.

If you would like to be part of Base 25 as a volunteer just email [email protected] and request a volunteer pack.

Wow what a Bank Holiday.
We are open today after the break, but closed the rest of the week for training.
We will be even more fabulous when we reopen 9am Monday.
