B&Q Rotherham

Individuals and families who have found themselves in financial difficulty can join the Social Supermarket at Rotherham Minster. They attend each week and can 'shop' from a selection of fresh and store cupboard items as well as a few non food items such as hygiene products and pet food. Members are with us for 3 months and can access holistic support and signposting to help them get back on their feet. Alongside the Social Supermarket we run a number of community groups such as a men's coffee morning, community café, craft group and a make & mend sewing group Donations help keep our 'shop' stocked with a variety of fresh and staple foods. Thanks to support we've received through neighbourly we have been able to support 160 households on average per year. Many of our former members have grown in confidence, found employment or found long lasting solutions to their financial difficulties as a result of accessing our Social Supermarket.

Sarah’s Little Learners is a registered childminding setting providing high-quality early years care and education for local children. We offer a nurturing, safe and stimulating environment where children can learn through play, exploration and hands-on experiences. We are currently developing our outdoor learning and gardening area and enriching our indoor activities; and would be grateful for support from local businesses through donations of items that can be used for educational purposes.. Some of the items that would really benefit the children include: - Plant pots, trays, planters - Compost, soil, seeds or herbs - Small wood off-cuts or outdoor materials for play -Surplus fruit and vegetables - Seasonal produce for planting or sensory activities - Healthy snack items suitable for young children - Craft, Stationery & Toys - Craft kits, paints, crayons, pencils - Books, educational toys, puzzles or games - Reusable items suitable for sensory, creative, or early learning activities. All items would be used directly for learning and play with children in our care. Thank you for considering supporting our local early years community!
