Teardrops Supporting Your Community have had some really positive news. Thanks to long term funding from the National Lottery Community Fund we have been able to secure service delivery for three years. Although this doesn’t fully meet the demand on our service it gives us the stability to continue to grow and help more and more people. Thankfully, this funding also includes much needed funds to cover some of our rent and utility bills for the next three years. This means we can continue to deliver services and food to our service users.
We are continuing to seek additional funding to meet the demand and support more people across St Helens and hope to see continued growth in 2021.
