What We Do @ West Northamptonshire

Most of the families we support have “No Recourse to Public Funding” (NRPF). 

Through our food bank project we are able to support them with fresh and cooked meals. This brings a lot of smiles to the faces of many families.

We partner with other organisations in various humanitarian projects to help families through giving food vouchers, and winter clothing vouchers in West Northamptonshire.

We extend our hands of love to families, give them hope and make them feel welcomed in the society.
