Welcome
We are a national award winning, volunteer-run, not-for-profit registered charity (1196690).
Created to help individuals and families in need from all walks of life (homeless or vulnerably housed, single parents, families in crisis, carers, survivors of domestic abuse, prison leavers, cancer patients, etc) either directly or through organisations, to buy essentials from most high street shops like Boots and Primark; and most supermarkets such as Aldi, Iceland, Primark, etc with a £10 (min) e-voucher.Â
What makes this initiative unique is its dignity-first approach. Instead of assuming what someone needs, we empower them to make their own choices. An evoucher can mean a meal for an individual, food for child's packed lunch, baby formula, warm clothing or shoes for winter, or basic hygiene essentials that many of us take for granted.
We work in partnership with organisations from all over the UK and Northern Ireland and also offer direct support to individuals and failies in crisis. But to continue our mission, we need your help.

September 7, 2026 | LEEDS | Asda - online as well | Hello, I a.currently navigating a sudden drop in household income. I have two disabled children with autism and complex needs and I also have ADHD and suffer from anxiety which means our normal household outgoings and care costs are exceptionally high.While my bank statement shows a payment went into my account on the 3rd, I had to use that money immediately to cover urgent bills and grocery shopping. Following this, our family fridge-freezer completely broke down. I had to use the remainder of our cash and borrow from a family friend to immediately purchase a replacement appliance so my children's medical/dietary needs weren't compromised. As a result, I currently have no disposable funds left and zero income until my next benefit or notice payment arrives on the 14th. I am requesting an evoucher strictly to buy essential food and groceries to keep my children fed until then as all the food i had purchased couldn't be saved. | |
