Support Us – POW Nottingham

POW is a charity funded by various agencies and organisations including the Big Lottery Fund.

As a small and independent charity we rely on the kindness and generosity of individuals as well as local businesses to meet the needs of our client base to the best of our ability.

Practical ways to help and support POW include:

Clothing donations for our clothing bank
Food donations of non-perishable items
Food supplies for outreach sessions such as crisps, chocolate bars, juice boxes
Toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, toothpastes, soaps, toilet rolls
Bedding, household items and appliances for those in need who are setting up their houses

With any financial donation made to POW we guarantee that every penny is spent on directly helping those we work with. If you donate money to POW this helps us buy essential supplies to run our service including:

Food to provide hot meals to clients at our drop-in service
