- Free counselling for children who are being bullied
- Keeping three hubs open six days a week
- VolunteerGive a few hours. Every one of us is a volunteer.

- Crochet ClubWednesdays and Saturdays, 1–4pm. Beginners taught, materials provided.
- KnittingKnit at home and drop your finished items at the hub.
Or just come in
Shop with us
Our charity shop sells donated clothes, books and bric-a-brac, and our gift shop sells handmade goods. Everything either shop takes goes straight back into the charity.
Bringing us things you no longer need helps just as much as buying something.
Buy the book
A Puppy's Story
Nic is a real dog, and this is his book — the reason there's a charity at all. £7.99 plus £1.99 delivery, with a free forget-me-not.
Costs you nothing
Switching your energy helps too
If you switch to Octopus Energy through our link, Octopus credits you £50 and credits the charity the same. You pay nothing extra for using it, and the money comes from Octopus rather than from your bill.
We should be straight with you: this is a referral, and the charity is paid for it. That is the whole point — it is a way to support us that costs you nothing. But it is your decision whether Octopus is the right supplier for you, and the credit, the tariffs and the terms are theirs rather than ours.
