MOTHERSHARE

Mothershare works on a referral basis to provide/loan essential items to families and children from pre-birth to late teens. Our referrals come from local statutory agencies. We provide our service throughout Calderdale, have one paid member of staff and a team of valued volunteers. Through Back Pack Buddies we provide weekend food parcels to children identified as at risk of food poverty.
