We The People Helping Together
Above is our motto as it is the people donating food and Store Gift vouchers that keep us going.
We decline refuse awards it's not in our ethics.
We are neither political nor religious, just a Humanitarian Community Group, our name can never be used for such. Every member helps from the heart and for the right reasons
None of us get paid and no petrol expenses received either. Our whole commitment is giving and not taking is our contribution to Sandwich Angels.

Children's letters
We recently received this little girl's Amy's letter above and it seems in our food parcels these Children reminded us that we forgot sweets or chocolates.... What they didn't realise is we haven't got any and are still struggling for tinned food as due to the high volume of emergency cases that we can't give out what we haven't got and we cover a vast area of Tameside, many desperate families are referred to us and we pack the boxes concentrating on meals, nutrition. Now we hope maybe anyone donating food items tins are still our priorities, could please help by adding a bar of chocolate or sweets. |
