🚨 URGENT CALL FOR CLOTHING – Our Kids Need You
It’s been a little while since we shared an updated Needs List, and right now we urgently need to shine a spotlight on clothing - especially specific sizes.
Every week, we support children who have had to leave home quickly, often with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing. In this time of uncertainty, quality clothes to call their own aren’t “extras” - they’re essentials that help a child feel comforted and cared for – because they are worth it!
Right now, we are desperately short on the following sizes:
🔴 URGENT – Boys
• Jumpers – sizes 4, 5, 6, 7
• Pants – sizes 5, 6, 7, 8
• Long sleeve t-shirts – sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16
• Shorts – size 16
🔴 URGENT – Girls
• Jumpers – sizes 4, 5, 6, 7
• Pants – sizes 3, 4, 5, 7
• Long sleeve t-shirts – sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16
• Shorts – sizes 5 and 16
• T-shirts – sizes 10, 12, 14, 16
We are also running low (though not yet critical) on:
🟡 LOW STOCK – Boys
• Jumpers – sizes 2, 3
• T-shirts – sizes 6, 10, 12, 14
• Shorts – sizes 10, 14
🟡 LOW STOCK – Girls
• Jumpers – size 2
• Pants – size 6
As summer sales continue and winter stock hits the shelves, we’re asking our incredible community to keep an eye out for bargains and add an extra item to your trolley if you can. A simple jumper or pair of pants can make a world of difference to a child starting over.

Together, we can make sure no child goes without the basics they deserve. đź’›
