‘A Bridge between those who want to give and those in need’
The Besom which was set up in 1987 helps people make a difference. Besoms are being set up and running all over the UK and abroad. It provides a bridge between those who want to give time, money, skills or things and those who are in need. The service it provides is free and ensures that what is given is used effectively.
If you have items that you do not use then The Besom would greatly receive them. Through the networks of local people we will then be able to match up the items given to the needs that we hear about and they are immediately passed on.
Some of these people may be woman escaping domestic violence, homeless people, refugees, families or individuals living in extreme poverty.
Some of the items that are useful for passing on are clothes, furniture, bedding, towels, curtains, crockery, kitchen equipment, lamps or non-perishable foods.
