Darwen Community Helpers

05/03/2026

If you’re listening to Capital Radio this morning, you will hear me being interviewed about the work we do at Darwen Community Helpers and about myself and the team heading over to Blackburn this evening to hand out essential items to people experiencing homelessness.

I truly can’t thank our community enough for all the donations you have given. Because of your kindness, we are able to make this possible.

Thank you

A big thank you to Laura Crowther and PCSO Mark Dixon for dropping off dog p**p bags and flyers today.

We are now a collection point, so if you need dog p**p bags or would like to place a poster and bottle with bags on a lamppost or tree in your area, you are very welcome to collect them from us at 10 Bridge Street.

It’s a fantastic initiative and a great way to help keep our community clean. Well done Laura 👏🐾

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. They truly meant a lot to me.

It really touched me that you remembered the help I gave you over a year ago, and your message arrived at exactly the right moment for me. I’m so grateful for that.

I only wish I had your contact details so I could thank you personally.

Helping people is the reason I get up every morning. Knowing that the support meant something to you reminds me why this work matters so much.

Your card meant more than you probably realise.

With heartfelt thanks,

Sammy ❤️ xx

Mornings like this are exactly why our Breakfast Club means so much.

Good food, warm drinks, plenty of laughter and a bit of banter with PCSO Mark Dixon who always takes the time to pop in, chat and connect with our community. It makes such a difference having that positive presence and familiar face around the table.

We are also so incredibly grateful to our wonderful new sponsor, LR Hair, for supporting our Breakfast Club with a weekly donation. Supporting local families, creating safe spaces and helping us keep this going truly shows what community spirit is all about.

When local businesses and local services come together, real change happens. And we are so thankful to be part of it. ❤️

We are so excited to welcome another incredible local business who is now sponsoring our Breakfast Club with a weekly donation 💛

A huge thank you to LR Hair for choosing to support Darwen Community Helpers in such a meaningful way. Your kindness will help us continue providing cereal, toast, fruit and warm drinks to those who need a little extra support each week.

On a personal note, she is also my own hairdresser and I can honestly say her heart for the community shines through in everything she does. She doesn’t just run a business, she cares deeply about people. That is something I truly admire.

When local businesses stand beside us like this, it strengthens our whole community. It shows that compassion and collaboration still matter.

Please join me in showing some love and appreciation for LR Hair. Supporting businesses that support their community makes such a difference.

Thank you for believing in what we do and for helping us keep our Breakfast Club table full 💛
