The Project’s Aims and Objectives? We aim to provide an effective and inclusive service that is relevant to the needs of our service users.  We supplement rather than replace statutory provision and we rely on the support of the local community and most of our items are kindly donated by local churches, schools, groups and individuals.  We also rely on a team of regular volunteers in the store and office who give us their support every week and offer supported volunteering positions to anyone looking at a step up into work. We are open to the public - Monday to Thursday from 1.00 pm. until 4.00 pm. and Friday 1.00 pm. to 3.30 pm.  Donations of tinned food, dried goods, toiletries and clean bedding are very welcome as are plastic bags for packing.
