Kindness Cupboard 

Take What You Need and Leave What You Can

Have you seen our Kindness Cupboard?

Our Kindness Cupboard is filled with non-perishable foods and hygiene items available for anyone in the community that finds themselves in need. It provides a helping hand to those who require it, but also offers an opportunity for anyone to give back and support their community on the premise of ‘take what you need and leave what you can'.

This initiative was made possible through a collaboration with ProjectKindness and was launched on the 10th of December as part of our 10 Year Anniversary.

The Kindness Cupboard is open and accessible for all, have a look when you're next at The Place. If you would like to leave some non-perishable or hygiene items for those in need you can pop them in the cupboard, in the donations box next to the cupboard or speak to our friendly staff.
