Our long-term supporters, Morrisons in Hawick, have done it again! They recently donated a car-load of goods that we can include in our home starter packs. These are discontinued lines but all new condition and are hugely appreciated. Thanks Morrisons!
We are in need of storage tins or tupperware boxes, so please donate if you have any to spare.
Here is a lovely comment from one of our partners: Just wanted to thank you and your team once again for the assistance you have given us. Your service is a godsend to help people set up home.
