Equality through Community

“The welfare of our children underpins everything we do here and having PWS by our side really does make a difference to the lives of our not so fortunate families…”
“…you’ve put so much love into these parcels… My sons are properly attired. Thank you for helping us believe that people like yourselves do exist still. Forever thankful…”
“…so grateful, money has been tight and one less thing to worry about…We are overwhelmed by the kindness of your charity. Thank you so much.”
“This has been a major help in times of need. This parcel has taken away the stress and worry of money. I’m happy my child is going to school smart and warm for the colder months. Thank you, this has truly been a blessing”
“I would like to say it has been amazing to see the children coming into school looking so well turned out. For one of these families the summer was not a happy time – they were evicted from their home and are now in one room in a motel. Having new uniform for the 2 children was one less problem for that Mum to think about – so thank you”
“Such a brilliant charity, [name protected] mum was beyond grateful when she received the uniform today. It really did put a BIG smiles on her face.”
