ABOUT US

We are Mark and Pauline, a husband and wife team. We are both disabled and Mark has been a carer for Pauline for the last 10 years. We both have to use mobility equipment to help with getting around. 


Over the last 10 years we have come across all the barriers and obstacles faced by disabled people in Wyre Forest and we want to change this for our community.

Energy & Water Costs

With energy and water costs spiralling out of control and many disabled, elderly and families struggling to make ends meet in our community. We want to help you by supporting energy bills for heating and water bills for water at times of need.

Food Costs

Inflation has hit most families hard and the cost of food has sky rocketed making even the essentials out of reach to many disabled, elderly and families in our community. We want to help by providing food parcels and emergency supplies if that's what you need.

Essentials

Nowadays there are so many essentials that we need and not everyone can afford to replace things when an emergency happens. We want to help you when things do go wrong whether it's clothing, an appliance or broadband bills, we may be able to help with essentials.
