How we’ve helped.

I am forever grateful for the Youth and Community Centre, my second home. I hope to bring that to other young people with the support and security they need in their lives.

Rhiannon

The Women’s Centre is a safe welcoming calm space, where us women are all equals and mostly want the best for each other. It’s the calm amongst the storm we live in!

Amy

Amazing grace! The Foxton service provides much-needed warmth to those battling the cold. Having access to a hot shower is a true blessing. I give them a well-deserved 10/10.
