Recently Great Places made a furniture donation to SAWN – Support and Action for Women’s Network, after both our Oldham Office and Keyworker Accommodation (Great Places temporary accommodation for NHS workers) refurbishment.
SAWN are an organisation dedicated to uplifting women from diverse backgrounds, empowering them to lead independent and fulfilling lives. They’re based in Stockfield Mill in Chadderton, Oldham.
This furniture donation is more than just giving away used items; it is an act of kindness that will transform lives. For women who have experienced domestic violence, homelessness, or financial struggles, acquiring essential furniture can be a significant obstacle to regaining a sense of normality. By donating furniture, we create an environment that promotes healing, rebuilding self-esteem, and inspiring women to envision a brighter future.
Karen, the Inclusion and Wellbeing Lead at SAWN said:
Thanks to Great Places for their generous donation of beds and office furniture to Support and Action for Women’s Network SAWN, an organisation based in Chadderton supporting the local community.
The donation of beds has ensured families with children that have fled domestic violence along with other issues have beds, they are now sleeping safely and well at night.
The Office furniture has been shared with other community groups recognising the cost-of-living crisis. Sharing is caring and together we are better. Thank you Great Places for sharing with us enabling us to work in partnership not only with yourselves but with our community.
