on Monday we made the difficult but necessary decision to temporarily close our shops.
our priority has always been the safety and wellbeing of our volunteers, and we know that the best place for everyone to be at this time is at home.
we are staying in regular contact with our volunteers to ensure they are keeping well and have everything they need.
we'll let you know as soon as we're open again, and remember you can always find us on eBay!! 🧡
Free #coronavirus support from our charity shop at Shared Space Westcliff opposite Palace Theatre, London Road, Westcliff.
***£15,000 Coronavirus Giveaway*** We at Shared Space charity have agreed to initially give away up to £15,000 of Shared Space money.
This is money the amazing team of Shared Space volunteers have worked really hard to raise through the shops. So feel proud of yourselves if you volunteer with us. Thank you!
We sense it is high time to start being generous and work against the stockpiling culture. And get back to giving.
This money will support and launch new local projects that are making a difference where coronavirus is having an impact. (This is similar in some ways to the Boost Fund Grants that we already give but there will be a different process and this is new money.) The money will also be used to provide support for those in deepest need due to coronavirus in the volunteer community.
WE ARE NOW CONSULTING FOR 24 HOURS AND WELCOME, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS OR IDEAS BELOW.
We are deciding the period over which we will distribute the money and the ways that will be decided. Please do not contact us to ask for money but do comment to tell us about opportunities and needs to make a difference in the local area. Let's get creative.
Or as us Christians would say - "Your kingdom come!"
