FAMILY SUPPORT WORK: Phillipa, a Senior Practitioner at FSW, has been working with a family in need for 2 years. After a long wait, they have finally been moved to a 2 bed flat. Phillipa has accessed grants to get a cooker and washing machine and they have beds and have bought some fabric wardrobes, but now have run out of money (having paid for the move etc.). Phillipa is on the lookout for items to help them make their new flat feel more like home. She specifically wants: drawers, toy boxes, book shelves/cube storage, Coffee table (not glass), Dining table (small or one that folds/drop leaf) and dining chairs, Toddler chair for sitting at the table, Bedside tables/side tables, Rugs (currently only hard flooring so nowhere for 3 year old to play on the floor), Lamps/lightshades, Curtains (especially thermal/black out). If you can help out with any of these items, please contact Phillipa on 01273 832963, email: phillipa@familysupportwork.org.uk
