A massive THANK YOU to the brilliant team from Virgin Media O2 who came in the other day and worked their socks off! 🥰

From sorting an absolutely huge pile of donations and dating all the tins, to organising our pantry and giving the toiletries cupboard a much-needed tidy, you tackled it all!

Everything looks amazing, and we promise we’ll do our best to keep it tidy! 😉

Thank you all so much for giving your time, energy and continued support to New Beginnings. You were absolutely fantastic, and we’re so grateful for everything you’ve done! 🧡🤗

Thank you for supporting our Harvest Festival collection once again! 🥰 We were so warmly welcomed into the school to give an assembly, and it was wonderful to hear all the brilliant ideas the children shared with us.

The collection is absolutely amazing, especially from such a lovely, small school community! And what a fantastic team of donation packers you had helping out too! 😁📦

Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for showing such kindness and generosity. Your donations will make a real difference to people in our community who need our support the most.
