Supporting people in crisis
About us
We are a small registered charity that provides practical, short-term support to help local people who are in crisis and who have been referred to us by a front-line service in Kirklees. We offer basic essentials such as food, toiletries, household items and bedding as well as a listening ear and information about where to get further help. We provide opportunities and support for volunteers and try to help them to find meaningful employment.

There are lots of things that you wouldn't buy without having a good look at first. When it comes to donating to charity, the thing to look out for is the Fundraising Badge – the logo that says, ‘registered with Fundraising Regulator’. The badge means that whichever organisation you’re donating to has committed to legal, open, honest and respectful fundraising. You'll find our badge on our website and letters as well as all our fundraising materials. https://lnkd.in/eJPHNpcV
