Support in kind

How can I help?

Appropriate donations of items such as clothing, bedding and food really make a difference to what we can do not just in winter but all the year round. However, our needs vary from time to time, so we maintain a list of what we currently need. Please check the list, and if you can help, please call the office on 01494 447699 and speak to one of the staff. 

As we are at the start of the season, our stores are full thanks to the generosity of previous donors, so the contents of our standard MAD (Make-a-Difference) bags are not needed at present.

As of 27th April 2012, we need:

• Men's underwear - trunks or boxer design, medium size best - not Y-fronts
• Jeans / joggers / combats - preferred sizes 30" - 34"
• Trainers
• Rucksacks
• Warm fleeces - all sizes including XL
• Outdoor all weather jackets - all sizes

• Tea
• Coffee
• Sugar
• Long-life milk
• Squash
• Individual juice cartons
• Crisps
• Biscuits
• Boxes of cereal / biscuit bars
• Main meals in a can – ring-pull
• Tins of all-day breakfast
• Long life main meals (often pasta based) – for heating in microwave
• Meat in a tin - corned beef, ham, etc
• Tins of tuna – ring-pull if possible
• Microwave rice pouches
• Jars of pasta sauce

Please ring the office first as we have quite a lot at the moment and limited storage space.

How can my company help? 

We think it’s great for companies to invest in their local communities. WHC welcomes support from companies in kind, or in some cases in the form of help from employees. We’d love to be your Charity of the Year!
