After attending our District Council meeting we heard about a brilliant company that gains surplus stock and then passes this on to charities that can give it to people that really need it.

It is so easy to get products from them to pass onto others. You register online, they check you out and then off you go. You can either pick items up from Leicester or they will courier them out to use for a small cost.

We went online selected products that we could pass onto others and then awaited a response.

The day after the lock down we were contacted to say our items were ready for collection.Because we were collecting items for vulnerable people,off we travelled to the warehouse to collect the items.

It just fit in the car.

Within our order we had:

  • Clothing for children and adults - donated to the homeless and low income families

  • Toiletries - donated to the homeless shelter

  • Colouring pencils and pens - donated to children to help with studying at home during lock down

  • Bars of soap - we put these through elderly people’s doors with our support line number on.

  • Baby items - donated to Northampton General Hospital for new families

  • Books - donated to hospital wards to keep patients amused

This is what we have passed onto those in need thanks to Giving World. I do believe that these items have help more than 1,623 people.

All of the items from Giving World are brand new. You are not allowed to sell any items they must be donated to those in need. We are currently looking to see if we can receive more products that we can donate to those in need.
