Support Foxton: How you can make a difference

At Foxton, we depend on the generosity of the public and local businesses to support our vital services. Your donations make a significant impact, and there are various ways you can contribute:

 Item donations

We welcome a wide range of items to support our community. Specific needs can vary with the seasons, so we may request certain items like water during hot weather or Christmas-related goods as the holiday approaches. Here’s a list of items we commonly accept:

  • Dry goods: Rice, pasta

  • Tinned food: Meats, fish, soup, beans
  • Snack foods: Biscuits, crisps, cereal bars
  • Fresh food: Bread, fruit, meat, vegetables (we can accept smaller donations)
  • Beverages: Tea, coffee, lifelong milk, lifelong juice, cordials

  • Easy-to-make snacks: Instant noodles, pasta
  • Cleaning materials: Washing powder

  • Toiletries: Shower gels, deodorants, shampoo, conditioner, razors, shaving foam, combs, toilet rolls, toothpaste, toothbrushes

You can drop off donations at our Day Centre located on Fox Street, which is open Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 4:00pm.

There is a loading bay for easy drop-off, or you may use our alternative drop-off point at 10/12 Oakham Court, Preston.

For any queries or to arrange a drop-off, please call the Day Centre at 01772 555925

 Financial donations

We also accept financial contributions through our JustGiving page. Every amount helps us continue our work, with no minimum donation required. You can contribute on our Foxton Centre Just Giving Page.

For those who prefer direct payments or wish to avoid using JustGiving, we can arrange alternative methods. We also accept cash and cheques made payable to The Foxton Centre. For cash donations, please arrange a time by calling 01772 555925.

If you are a local business interested in sponsoring us, please contact info@thefoxton.org. We are happy to acknowledge your support with our logo, recognising you as a valued supporter.

 Clothing donations

We accept both new and gently used clothing, with specific needs including:

  • New underwear: Both men’s and women’s
  • Socks: Essential for foot care
  • Casual clothing: T-shirts, track suits, jeans (no formal clothing)
  • Winter wear: Coats, jumpers, sweatshirts
  •  Other: Joggers, hats, scarves, gloves

Please note that we only accept sleeping bags for bedding donations. Furniture donations are better suited for organisations like Emmaus or Gift 92 due to our limited storage space.

Your support is crucial in helping us provide essential services to those in need. Thank you for considering a donation to Foxton.

For more information or to speak with a team member, please call us at 01772 555925 or email info@thefoxton.org.

How we’ve helped.

It’s an absolute pleasure to volunteer with the Foxton team. Everyone is treated as an equal and it’s a wonderful community to be part of.

Candice

We believe that Foxton’s homeless drop-in centre is essential in providing immediate relief and support to homeless individuals while receiving help to facilitate their transition to more stable living conditions.

Shelter

The Foxton helps a lot of people, they put people first before themselves, they make sure everybody is OK.
