Donation requests
Thanks to the kind generosity of people, schools and organisations we are able to offer our guests the chance to move on from their situation.
We rely on the generosity of donors to sustain this important work. If you would like to make a one off or regular donation towards our work, we would be so grateful for a gift of any amount.

TRAVEL MONEY
Guest travel money is a large expense for us. This enables guests to attend viewings, attend medical appointments and attend Job Centre interviews. Every year, NEWway spends around £2,500 on guest travel. It would therefore be much appreciated if you could either donate an Oyster card topped up with minimum £12 or make a monetary donation so that we can top up guests Oysters.
CLOTHING AND BEDDING
We really appreciate donations of good quality second hand clothing (trousers, T-shirts, coats, shoes, belts, hats, scarves, gloves), towels, toiletries, new socks and underwear, bedding (to fit single beds), non-perishable food.
Frequently, guests also ask us if we have any rucksacks and sleeping bags that they can have. If you have any spare one, please give it a second life and donate it to us.
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
When guests move into a new accommodation, they usually do not have the basic items, such as kettles, plates, cutlery, cups, cooking pots and pans. If you have any to donate, please contact us.
