00:00Hi, I'm Jojo. I founded 10 Little Toes in 2017. We started in a space in my house. We
00:07are supporting families across West Sussex with children from 0 to 12 years old. This
00:13can be anything from clothing, nappies and wipes, to cots and prams. A lot of the stuff
00:17we have donated in we do try and recycle. There are some things that we can't send
00:21out second hand, for example mattresses and bottles due to health and safety and safe
00:26sleeping regulations. 10 Little Toes are massively grateful for Carl and Horsham
00:31Motorcycle Group for organising the run on the 9th of August. It starts at the
00:35Star in Roffey and will end back at the Star at Roffey for a lovely family fun day
00:39and barbecue. Hi, I'm Kerry and I'm the founder of Moonstones. I founded Moonstones
00:46back in 2021 when I was supporting Spotted Crawley with food parcels due to
00:51the pandemic. I came across three individuals that had been placed into a
00:58local hostel and they literally didn't have anything. After speaking to them a
01:04little bit more at length, I found out that all three of them had fled domestic
01:07abuse and whilst the local authority had given them a hostel room, what they don't
01:12provide you with are those basic items, so bedding, towels, cutlery, dinner set. So it
01:18kind of sparked a little bit of a seed. I kind of, you know, started thinking, oh my
01:23gosh, like there's got to be something out there that supports people. So I did a
01:27bit of research, found out there actually wasn't a lot of support in the local
01:31area. So I founded Moonstones. So we support individuals and family units around
01:37Crawley and the wider area with what we call care packages. So they are bundles of
01:44bedding, towels, your basic items for the kitchen. So kettle, toaster. We're also now
01:51providing air fryers, saucepans and some other basic items as well for kitchen for
01:56people that are moving into, you know, more permanent accommodation. It's been
02:01great to team up with Jo at Ten Little Toes. We've known each other for a very long
02:06time. Our children went to school together. But it's always about collaborative
02:10working, especially in your local community. It's so important for us to
02:15all work together to support the families that we do. It's even been great for
02:19Horsham Motorcycle Group to come on board. Carl's been fantastic at helping to
02:23organise this event for us on the 9th of August. It's being hosted by the star in
02:29Roffy. So massive thanks to Dan and Jess. The bikers are going to be there from
02:33about half 11 to get registered and then they will go off for a couple of hours on
02:37their ride and have some fun. And then whilst they're doing that, we're going
02:41to have some events and things going on for, you know, children and the families
02:45that hopefully are going to come over and have a fabulous day. Once the bikers come
02:49back, there'll be a barbecue, a raffle and an auction. So if you are free, it would be
02:54great to see you. So please do come along and support us. Thank you.
