Refugees, asylum seekers and migrants often flee their home countries with no possessions. In Coventry, many face extreme poverty. With £100,000 from the npower Business Solutions (nBS) Foundation, Carriers of Hope is creating homes for them with pre-loved items.
Since 2009, Carriers of Hope has been taking donations of second-hand furniture and other household items from the local community and using it to create safe, comfortable homes for displaced people in Coventry. More than this, it offers practical support, opportunities and access to vital services to families in deprived circumstances.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone behind the nBS Foundation. We have a fantastic team here on the ground who wouldn’t be here without this funding.
Steffi Price, Director of Operations and Partnerships at Carriers of Hope
