GAIL'S Hackney Castle

Hackney priory parents live in supported accommodation aimed at providing services for young vulnerable parents / young people with complex needs/ young people with mental health needs, between the ages of 16 – 24 years old. One housing have merge with Riverside March 22, we are now One Housing part of Riverside – within the organisation I work with valuable young parents -who are referred by Hackney Social Services, there needs varies from Mental Health, Domestic abused, substance misuse – asylum seekers etc etc etc. We have a few sites in Hackney for young people with complex needs who also receive these donations. These young people we work with are on very low income who struggle day to day to manage their income/budget. Receiving donation helps these young people with managing on their low income, the donations are much appreciated by young people as most of the item which are donate would be unaffordable on their budget. Every Tuesday we run a young mother’s group to promote positive parenting, healthy relationships, positive mental health and well being, amongst other things. The young mothers are all on low incomes and would welcome any donations that are offered; we could also use donations to facilitate healthy cooking workshops and encourage budgeting their income accordingly. We have in the past received clothing items from charity organisation which is not ongoing. We do not collect any other donation from retailers. We do not work in the community all donations are handed out to Hackney Parents and Complex Needs within our Hackney organisation. We collect Customer donation from Lidi in Hackney 3 time a week with donations from Lidi. Thank you for your continuous support from your team
