I’m pleased to tell you all that we have received an amount of £4000 from the Masonic Charitable .This is to assist us with our work. The good news doesn’t stop there we will receive this amount again in October 2025 and then again in 2026. Total of £12000. Although obviously we have to keep a record on what we spend this on we are not restricted to any particular items. It will be very helpful in our work to help families.

We were delighted to be chosen as one of the charities to participate in the Co-Op Community Fund.

A Big THANK YOU to all the Co-op Member who chose us as their preferred charity resulting in New Life Domestic receiving a total of £4879.16 in donations.

£1697.58 was sent to us in Feb this year with the balance of £3181.58 received this month.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THANKS TO THE CO-OP FOR FACILITATING THE SCHEME.

January was a busy period for the charity with 7 new cases referred to us. All our volunteers and supporters rallied together to collect all the necessary furniture and sundries needed by these families and we were able to quickly make these families new accommodate become a new comfortable home.

“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to help set us up in the new house. I am so grateful”

Case No. 6

We have a very busy month, a total of nine families supported. Huge thanks to our volunteers and supporters who helped us source items in a very short period. Lovely to see the kids in these families settle in to their new homes.

The sun may be out but our volunteers were busy loading up the van to delivery essential items to the three families we supported this month. Its such a joy to see the smiles on peoples faces when they see their new accommodation become a home.

When families move into their new home its an empty box and that can have be harmful physically, emotionally, socially and financially especially if you have children. That is where we can help by providing the essentials in terms of furniture, cooking, washing and storing food.

We were delighted when this storage facility came up for rent. Its small but it suits our purposes. We will be transferring all the furniture in within the next week. These photos show different stages following items being moved to it.

We are all so pleased.

On Tuesday One Community chatted with Julie Haylett from New Life Domestic an amazing charity that helps people who have been victims of domestic abuse. They help them start a new life by supplying furniture and essential household items (including white goods & flooring) for free.

It was cold and it was wet but that didn’t stop us loading up the van to help three families settle into their new homes. Some only needed a few items and others needed a full house furnished, every case is different. Regardless of how little or large the request is the charity is always willing to help.
