A rise in demand on our services
We are seeing a radical rise in demand on our services. This is a snapshot of the last 7 days (all in addition to our regular Wellbeing, CAP Life Skills, DA recovery courses and youth group) - a constant reminder WHY The Branch is needed:
-
Wigwam filled up and delivered a truck of furniture to 2 families
-
A working party from Kingham Hill School volunteered on 3 social action projects, clearing two gardens and decorating a house
-
10 Ukrainians visitors attended language lessons to improve their English
-
Final stages of creating a film to amplify the voices of women in our community who have suffered Domestic Abuse
-
20 children from Chipping Norton School were mentored or joined our “Branch Out and Cook" or music courses
-
Received referrals for 15 children’s school uniforms so they will arrive feeling proud and with shiny shoes on their first day of school
-
Advocated for 3 homeless families
-
Ensured one Domestic Abuse victim has the correct representation in Court
-
Celebrated that 9 families have become debt free this year
-
Partnered with other charities and statutory services to ensure support is in place for the summer holidays and can be easily accessed.
-
Another Connect Café full of welcome, advice, craft, coffee and cake - bursting at the seams
-
A text of thanks from a mum…”t hank you for your help …I was at my wits end, but because of your help I have been able to wash our clothes and cook a meal".
