Help Christian Social Services (CMR East London) by Donating welome packs for abused women and children for our home, Victory House, Place of Restoration
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Women and children often escape violent circumstances with just the clothes on their backs. Welcome packs with toiletries, feminine hygiene products, underwear and other basic necessities are needed. A small airtime voucher and any other thoughtful addition would serve to help them feel loved, cared for a supported. Even their own small supply of sugar, coffee and creamer (the demands are high on the budget for this in a safe house) would be welcomed. Moving to a safe house is traumatic and difficult and we want the women and children who come to us to feel as comfortable as possible. We also need basic medical supplies such as Dettol, plasters, pain and allergy meds etc Clothing and shoes including school shoes are also needed and would be welcomed.

- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
