Always makes me smile when someone just offers to help without me saying a word.
My wonderful friend Tina Paine has arranged a donations point in the Card Factory in Southend High Street ( not the one in the Royals ) If anyone is in the card Factory and wants to pop something in the basket it will be really helpful. They do sell gifts in there too to save you carrying them around, win win
Thank you Tina & your team.❀️

Celebrating Trustees Week! πŸ™πŸΌ

This week, we take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the amazing trustees who volunteer their time, expertise, and passion to make a difference in our community.

Who are Trustees? 🀝
Trustees are individuals who generously give their time to govern and oversee the work of our organization, ensuring we stay true to our mission and values.

What do Trustees do? πŸ“
From attending meetings and making strategic decisions to providing financial oversight and guidance, trustees play a vital role in shaping our organization's future.

Why are Trustees important? 🌟
Their dedication, expertise, and commitment enable us to continue our vital work, making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

Let's show our appreciation! πŸ™πŸΌ*
To all our trustees, past and present, we thank you for your tireless efforts, wise counsel, and unwavering support. Your contributions are truly valued and appreciated.

We need to say an absolutely enormous thank you to Southend Dunelm and all their customers for their whole-hearted support of our Christmas campaign through their Delivering Joy Scheme!

I went and collected a HUGE amount of presents today, and was blown away with the generosity of those taking part in the scheme.

Thank you so much to Dunelm for including us, we so appreciate your support! πŸ’š

All of the gift tags - that represent an individual we are collecting for - have now been claimed, but if you would like to donate to support families in Southend that are living in poverty, there is still plenty of time!

Testimonial to the work & relationships the team at the women-only service has built. The lady that brought this for the team has been accessing the service for 5 years, she brought this in this week to say thank you to the team. She brought the receipt along to show the team she paid for it. The symbolic meaning behind this tells me she's seen, she's heard & she feels valued. Our women come into us with only the clothes on their back, to buy this means everything.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our incredible founder Marie Rose was last night awarded the Southend Citizen of the Year Gold Award for the amazing work she has done setting up Carrie's Outreach and the Aspirations Program Registered Charity 1195424.

Marie was the only winner that was asked to make a short speech, and her words completely moved the audience. We are all so proud of what she has achieved for the most vulnerable people in Southend.

We want to say a huge thank you to Jamie Millier for hosting the awards and Phillip Miller for sponsoring the event. Each winner won a cash prize for themselves and their chosen charity. Of course Marie has opted to donate all of the money back into Aspirations.

Congratulations Marie πŸ‘πŸ»πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³
