Helping Carriers of Hope create homes for displaced people

The charity’s team, which includes five former asylum seekers and refugees, coordinates the collection and donation of essentials, saving 44,440 litres of waste from going to landfill. It then redistributes these to families when they’re placed in permanent homes. However, the organisation’s work was at risk due to a lack of sustainable funding. 

With a grant from the nBS Foundation, the team could stay and help the charity expand its furniture and recycling projects, with the potential to help 1,700 vulnerable families. Alongside reducing waste, this will help create secure, restful homes from which people can progress their lives.
