GRANT AWARDED - THE OLIVE BRANCH
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £1000 to The Olive Branch in Lancaster for 9x tents and 9x sleeping bags. Their mission is to support those suffering distress caused by addiction, broken family relationships, poverty and homelessness, and to enable individuals and families to resolve and alleviate their difficulties.
They do this by providing a referral based food bank, along with a support centre, where people can come for hospitality and conversation, sign posting to other services and organisation to provide them the help they need.
They approached us at the 3R Foundation for a grant as they were receiving an increasing number of requests for tents and sleeping bags from homeless people they support. They had been sourcing these just 'as and when' but there was a time delay in accessing them. The grant enabled them to purchase 9x tents and 9x sleeping bags to be kept in stock to allow them to distribute them as and when needed.
