With only a couple of “official” weeks left of Winter, we are very much looking forward to some warmer, and drier Spring months ahead. The dramatic increase in requests for Winter support have started to slow down, however there are still so many families struggling...
May was an all-time record month at We Care, around a staggering 150 families. Every second request is asking for the same things - warm clothing and blankets are the families are really struggling to afford heating costs, so warm clothes and blankets are the next...

Happy New Year to our incredible community! In amongst the obvious, 2020 was the year that We Care grew to help more children that ever before - over 1,400 children were helped thanks to your incredible support, be that donating items, supporting us financially, or volunteering your time....
This Poverty Week, 1,500 local children need our help for clothing, nappies, blankets, and the basics every child deserves.
