Thank you team Assura plc for helping us add that magical touch to our bundles to show the families that people care.
I often think of the smiles that these bags generate, the childs smile opening the bags to lots of gorgeous items picked especially for them, and the added hair accessories, toys, toiletries.
‘Mummy aren’t we so lucky!’ Was the response of one 6 yr old girl on receipt of her items, ecstatic about her new toothbrush with her favourite Trolls cartoon character on it.
She made it her mission to check out what was in her older brothers bag too to make sure he felt equally as special.
I think of the relief their mum must feel, just hours earlier worried about how she was going to keep her children warm this winter, to receiving these items knowing they are now sorted, and have an invite to access further support as her children grow.
Our community make providing this vital safety net a breeze. However funding our work is very challenging at the moment and it’s a very worrying time for our small charity as we are trying to secure ongoing operational space after our premises in Stretford gets demolished in 2025.
If our work resonates with you or your companies values, get in touch, we’d love to have a chat about how we can work together to ensure all children have the basics they need for healthy childhood development, regardless of their families financial position - because let’s face it - the basics of home safety, warmth and developmental essentials shouldn’t be reserved just for those that can afford it.

Our Mags is a fan! 😍
Following Team Assura plc volunteering day a few weeks ago, we had a lovely surprise gift of 2 new supercharged steam irons and ironing boards which arrived a few days later.
It didn’t take our lot long to get them unpacked and put to good use!
We make sure all of our bundles are ironed before they head out to families. Our ironers are our final checkers for quality before a bundle gets dispatched, and turn a bundle of clothes into a beautifully presented gift for the family to enjoy.
Huge thanks to Karen Nolan, PhD
for arranging the donation 🥰
