About Open Hands
Open Hands Trust (Leicester) has been formed to offer help to people in need in Leicester city and county. Through the charity, acts of compassion are shown in many ways. We use a converted garage space in Highfieds to offer hot meals, quality second hand clothes, children's equipment and furniture to those who need it. We also give away hampers of food, baby packs and new home hampers through the Store House.
If you are from an agency and would like to access help for a client, we use a referrals system – please visit the Unit page for more information.
Our Preschool is OFSTED approved and has excellent facilities and staff in the heart of Highfields.
To help vulnerable women in practical ways we have formed the 'Acts of Kindness' Foundation.
