Help supply items. It can be very difficult to get basic items onto the island and a lot people just cannot afford the high price tags for basic items like children’s clothing, stationery items and sanitary products. If you have a little space in your luggage to bring some donations with you, they would be very gratefully received. We will ensure they get to people most in need. We will keep this list updated to ensure the things most needed are being collected and distributed.
- Toothbrushes, toothpaste & Soap
- Sanitary products and nappies
- School supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, colouring books, art and craft items etc)
- School bags in good condition i.e rucksacks
- Mobility aids – Walking sticks, crutches and wheelchairs
- Child and Adult incontinence pads and bed sheets (re-usable if possible)
- Football kits, boots, balls, training bibs, goalie kit and gloves (new or used)
- Children’s sports wear
- Shoes and trainers in good condition
- Toys we can use as Christmas gifts
