HOME COMFORTS NORTH LANARKSHIRE
It's 10 years now since Home Comforts was started, little did we know how
it would grow and develop. Now we distribute both Cleaning Packs and Hygiene Packs all over North Lanarkshire. Last year we totalled a combined 1000 + packs which is amazing!
We are funded by Grants and donations ,but right now we are short of some items so I am appealing for TEA TOWELS & DEODERANTS (roll on if possible). There will be a box at the church door for any donations.
Thank you M Weir
