What People Say
Wendy Hadlington, Healthwatch Sunderland Engagement Officer
"It meant so much to give a little time to Love, Amelia. The Healthwatch Sunderland team spent an afternoon sorting donations ready for distribution to families in need. Steph and Gill were so welcoming and got us to work straight away, so we felt our time was well spent. We can’t wait to go back! "

Beneficiary
"I can't put in to words how grateful I am for the things you have given me. I never thought I would need to come to a charity for help but this year I have been desperate. Everything was so beautiful I couldn't believe it was all for me. The pram was absolutely beautiful I feel so proud when I'm out with the bairn. You're are a godsend and I want to give back to help families like you helped me"
