Iris Court Care Home is proud to be supporting The Food Shed this Easter and we need your help.
We are collecting Easter eggs to donate to families in our local community.
Lets come together as a community to put a smile on children's faces and spread a little Easter joy to those less fortunate.
Pop in and leave your Easter egg donations with us - together we can help make Easter a little brighter for our local families.
Our last day of donations is Friday 27th March, these will then be delivered to The Food Shed Stevenage for distribution.
Half‑term plans loading… and every little saving helps.
Herrts County Council has rounded up the best Kids Eat for Free or Less spots across Hertfordshire to make your family adventures a little lighter on the wallet and a lot more fun.
🔃 Save this image for your half-term outings and pass it on to friends and family who could use it too.
Do you have kids coats that you could pass on to families in need?
Welcome to Coats 4 Kids Herts 2025 Autumn/Winter Season 🍂
With the weather on the turn, we are now welcoming Kids Winter coat donations ready to rehome 🙏🏻
‘Coats for Kids’ is a safe place where families can come for a FREE preloved Winter coat for a child at zero cost and with zero judgement.
We want to help share preloved, good quality coats to Kids that need a coat for Winter. Helping to support families in a completely confidential way. This is our 4th Autumn/Winter 🤍
We greatly appreciate donations of preloved, clean, good quality Winter Children’s coats, all sizes accepted (from Baby to Teenage). Unfortunately we can’t accept any other clothing items.
Please kindly take your donations in a carrier bag to any of the following donation points as soon as possible (please be mindful these venues are not always open so you may need to leave your donation outside) thank you so much 🙏🏻
DROP OFF LOCATIONS FOR DONATIONS ⤵️
Once we have donations we will be running weekly pop up events to help distribute to those in need.
IMPORTANT ➡️ For any urgent coat requests please get in touch with me (Laura) on 07950403823 or email [email protected]
If you are in the professional services and have a larger need, please email me a list of your requirements including gender, age and quantity.
Huge thanks to our ongoing partnership with the brilliant teams at Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and the amazing local businesses mentioned above.
