As a charity who support young families in Long Eaton and the surrounding community with bundles of hope, we are always looking for ways to increase our impact and better support our service users.   When the Long Eaton Tesco Community team popped in to see us this Thursday, we were blown away by their generosity.  Not only had they provided us with a range of goodies for babies and pre-school children (toddler cutlery, toddler beakers, pacifiers, jars of baby food as well as body cream for Mums and much more), but they also notified us that we had been successfully accepted for their blue token scheme.  Bundles of Hope project manager Jane Allen said, “This is excellent news, we are reliant upon donations and funding from our local community to keep Bundles of Hope and Baby Basics running and the blue token scheme will provide us with much needed funds to help us expand our reach”. 

We encourage all our followers to shop at Tesco over the next three months, not forgetting to collect your token and vote for Bundles of Hope.  Could you let your family and friends know about Bundles of Hope and encourage them to vote for us too?  We could get a grant of up to £1,500 and that would make an incredible difference in allowing us to support more families with young children and babies.

 And whilst you are doing your weekly shop, why not consider if there is any small extra you could add to your shopping bag that may make a difference to a young family of a pre-school child or baby?  We are always in need of baby toiletries, nappies and wipes, but perhaps you could check out the clothing..
