The month of July has been fairly busy with requests for the basic items of food, clothes, shoes and baby needs. We also provided help towards the cost of 2 pushchairs.
In addition to these items we purchased a minibus suitable to transport a wheelchair for a family with a profoundly disabled 5 year old child. The family needed a suitable vehicle as the child requires specialist transportation to access the daily assistance he requires. The cost of the vehicle was £10,500.
The totals for the month were 14 families with 33 children amounting to £11,438, including the cost of the vehicle. The totals for the ten months of this financial year are 500 plus families amounting to £52,054.
