New flooring for single parent in need
Our cost of living support worker, Laura, was able to help a single parent with two children, who had been living with a cold concrete kitchen floor for some time due to a mice infestation.
Laura liaised with Adur East Lions Club who said they sometimes provide low-cost flooring options to people in need using a local flooring company.
The flooring company visited the service user at home and gave them a quote for new flooring, which was then passed on to Adur East Lions. The quote was approved and the parent was overjoyed to discover that new kitchen flooring would be fitted courtesy of the club. Thank you so much for your help, Adur East Lions Club!
New food grant for Littlehampton service users
West Sussex Mind has been awarded a £1,200 grant from the Arun and Chichester Food Partnership, which will enable our cost of living project to offer much needed dry food goods and toilet roll to service users who visit our Littlehampton support hub.
We are now able to purchase food items for our service users, who are most in need, also ensuring that those with allergies and intolerances are catered for.
Laura, our cost of living support worker, said: "We are beyond delighted to be able to offer much-needed food support to our most vulnerable service users, who have struggled to access the food they need. It's particularly amazing to be able to cater for people with food allergies, as this is an area that is sometimes overlooked."
The mini food project in Littlehampton will be available from early May 2024.
