Thanks to you, we were able to provide underwear recently to Community One Stop Shop, an organisation that helps alleviate the effects of poverty in South West Edinburgh. They posted a wee note to say: “Huge thanks to Smalls for All for their generous donation of underwear to the Waverley Care Van. For people experiencing homelessness, access to clean clothing – especially underwear – is incredibly limited due to the lack of laundry facilities. Something so basic can make a real difference and gives a sense of dignity to people living in very challenging circumstances. We’re very grateful to everyone who donates and supports this essential service.”

We also provided underwear to Pelican Parcels, a charity supporting families in the Brighton & Hove area and Sussex with clothes and basic needs. On behalf of the organisation, Elaine thanked Smalls for All, saying: “Thank you so much from the Pelican Parcels team. Underwear is an essential in all our clothing packs; we could never add the quantities we do without the amazing, continued support of Smalls for All. Adding brand new packs means we can help our families meet a basic but important need with dignity.”

It was Volunteer Week at the beginning of June and we celebrated the pantastic people who help make our work possible. Every donated item sorted, every parcel packed, and every request fulfilled starts with the dedication of our volunteers. So far this year, they’ve helped sort 8,049 parcels of donations, supported more than 50 organisations, and helped us reach communities across Africa and the UK. As you can see from the list of organisations above, it’s been another busy month with over 31,000 items of underwear being given to people in need. Thank you to every volunteer who gives their time, energy and care to help ensure people have access to the essentials they need. We couldn’t do it without you.

The Greenock Rotary Club has been a supporter for 10 years, their most recent donation of 2,482 pairs of pants takes their overall total of underwear donated to over 37,000 items which is incredible. Thank you so much for your support, it’s made a huge difference over the years.

Thanks as always for supporting Smalls.
