We’re not a registered charity, so gifts here aren’t tax-deductible. What we can offer instead is the whole picture. The real cost of each pack, straight from the planning sheet we actually use.
The items themselves - toiletries, socks, journals, tea, the small original touches.
The box, the printed band, and getting it to the centre.
Domain, printing, the occasional courier.
No wages, no contractors, no one drawing a fee. Packing, screening and admin are all done in donated time.
Free hosting and a free donation platform; Zeffy takes no cut, so 100% of a gift reaches the packs.
The domain, the first boxes and the first round of stock were paid for personally, not out of donations.
When possible, Items are bought in bulk or given in kind by local businesses.
Packs are assembled at homes and posted straight to centres.
Income only ever goes back into packs, postage and running costs, never to profit or private benefit.
