POWERED BY LOVE!

Your kindness gives hope. Community is love in action.

Over the last few months at the Winch, we’ve invited friends, partners and neighbours to help shape our plans for the year ahead. We’ve asked you, how we can help every child succeed? How we can make our community a great place to live, work and grow up in? What should our priorities be, as we face all of the challenges the future holds?

One consistent message has come back to us time and time again. The Winch is a place where people feel seen and feel valued. It’s where people care for each other.

Your feedback has inspired us to launch our first campaign of the year- Love Is. What better time to kick off a campaign celebrating love, than in the run up to Valentine’s Day!

The Winch is a manifestation of the love that’s is present every day and everywhere in our community. Love is at the heart of everything we do. The generosity of our supporters is love in action. Your kindness gives others hope for a better future. We asked some of the people who come to the Winch what they think Love Is. Here is they shared…

In these uncertain times, we all need the help of our friends and neighbours more than ever. Your help ensures that we can keep local young people and families safe, nurtured, and equipped for life and its challenges. Your support of the Winch gives your neighbours reasons to be hopeful.. 

Please consider making a one-off donation at this difficult time. If at all possible, join us as a monthly donor. No amount is too small. Every act of kindness is valuable. Everyone in our community can make a difference in a way that best suits them. However you can, please help the Winch continue to rise.

Amanda, our Community Fundraiser, would love to hear from you to talk all things Winch community – so please get in touch with her at amanda@thewinch.org.
