Thank You

Hi!

Thank you so much for choosing to invest into the work of Open Hands today. Each week we receive 300 visits through the doors of our Compassion Centre from people accessing emergency practical items, education, and care. Your donation will make a tangible difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in Leicester! See a short story from our Essential Services Manager which gives an example of a family we have supported recently:

‘One of our regular guests came to me today, put her arm around my shoulder and said “I don’t know what I would have done without all the ways you have helped me and my kids. I didn’t know how I would manage and then I met you. You have been so kind”. It’s a privilege to journey with the people we support – this family have received help with beds, clothing and food.’

If you’d like to hear more about the impact your support makes please email admin@openhandsleicester.org.uk to join our newsletter mailing list. You can also follow us on social media @OpenHandsLeics.

Thank you for making a difference.
