6 years agoWe have just been told that our first Buddy Bags have gone to children being looked after. We are now putting together the next set of bags and are asking if anyone thinks it’s a worthwhile cause to please help the children continue with this amazing project. We thank everyone who has already supported the children from The Tribe in this project. Each backpack contains a teddy, toothbrush, toothpaste, little pack of sweets, pencil case, colouring book and pencils and a note from the children.

6 years agoWe haven’t promoted for a while but the Buddy Bags have been a brilliant success and the children received a letter and card from a child who received a bag telling them how special it made them feel. Please if you can dig deep and help us reach our total for our next 50 bags that will be amazing. Thank you from all the children at The Tribe.
