Campaign for our Shop & Drop Scheme
Due to the coronavirus outbreak Family Friends have opened a Shop & Drop Scheme. Our scheme is for housebound families, or families who are self-isolating, who are currently or were previously supported by Family Friends, and new families. It is for deliveries of essential items to families at their homes.
£40 will provide food and essential items for one shop for a vulnerable family. A £5 donation will pay for the expenses of a volunteer to deliver this.
If you would like to help us with our Shop & Drop Scheme please donate through our JustGiving page www.justgiving.com/familyfriends/donate
