How your donations can help

Here are some examples of how your donations can help our work

Buy coffee, biscuits and snacks for our regular peer support groups where carers and disabled adults get together to talk, share experiences and offload.

“During this time (COVID-19) being able to log on and see all your smiling faces is so helpful. It gives me hope, cheers me up, its hard.”

Deliver mindfulness, massage and other self help tools to improve mental health and encourage relaxation.

“It is my one hour of sanity each week and I really look forward to it.”

Pay for arts and crafts and activities for young carers during weekly peer support groups.

“Thank you so much for letting my daughter join the YC Zoom group. She had a ball – haven’t heard her laughing like that for some months.”

Purchase blocks of fitness classes or activities from local providers, offering Tai Chi or Bootcamp fitness for our service users.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to join the class, the 45-ish minutes to myself was really appreciated. I definitely feel so much better afterwards.”

Purchase year passes to local attractions like Five Sisters Zoo and Almond Valley Heritage Centre for families, young carers and disabled adults to have a day out.

“What a huge difference you have made to our family, SO glad we found you. Can’t thank you enough for all you have helped us through in the last year. ❤ “

Purchase tablets or devices enabling people to remain connected to family or friends, but also to our Zoom peer support groups.

“I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for you all at COWL. The support has been amazing! At times the only thing that has got me through (COVID-19) is living for Thursdays and the Zoom groups for the kids.”
