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

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

  Happy Friday! First up, we’re sorry it’s been a while since we sent out a newsletter – our record breaking Christmas program was backed up with a record breaking Back to School program, and we’ve just caught our breath and getting into 2022 🙂

As we write this email we are surrounded by incredible donations from this wonderful community. Since restrictions eased, we have been receiving so many fantastic donations to keep up with the need to help local children. The requests we are receiving on a daily basis are showing

Gosh – already we’ve flown into October, with lockdown freedom finallllllly here! Thank you to you all for sticking with us over the last couple of months. The biggest part of our program relies on community donations – made somewhat tricky when our normal drop

Well, what a crazy couple of months. We hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe and well.  As an essential service, our doors have stayed open as we juggled through the various restrictions at each stage. After the initial uncertainty, we’re feeling

At the end of March we turned 5 – from starting in the back of a hall with 3 shelf units and tubs of baby clothes, we now have a fully functioning warehouse, ordering system for case workers and a wonderful community who donate items to

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.
