New Mills Youth and Community Project C.I.C. is a community interest company (company no.12440021) limited by guarantee, not shares. We are a not-for-profit organisation. Our aim is to benefit the community by facilitating a range of affordable and accessible support services for local individuals and families, as well as having a positive impact on the environment. We help as many people as we can in lots of different ways; our Community Pantry gives people access to affordable foods, toiletries and cleaning products, as well as redistributing surplus foods from local supermarkets which prevents waste and therefore has a positive impact on the environment. The surplus food from local supermarkets is collected by our organisation, brought back to our Community Pantry and given away for free to people so that it does not go to landfill instead. We run a Community Clothing Service and a School Uniform Service to provide people with an opportunity to access affordable clothing, shoes, bedding, towels, curtains etc and we also offer Early Essentials Equipment such as prams, cots, high chairs etc. We run a Community Book Shop selling books, dvds and cds and a Community Toy Shop where everything is sold at an affordable price to help individuals and families to save even more money, and all proceeds raised go straight back in to our project to support the work we do in the community. We provide craft activity packs for children during half-term holidays and we sponsor a local stay-and-play group to give families free access to a weekly social activity, we sponsor sewing classes and arts classes for children during half term to ensure as many local children as possible are accessing some of the best services our community offers when schools are closed. We rely on the income we generate ourselves as well as grant funding and donations from the public. No donation is ever too small or too big, we are grateful for anything! Please support us if you can, knowing that when you help us you are helping many others.
