The BHP team would like to thank Sainsbury’s Amblecote for having us as their chosen Charity for the last 12 month. Here are some of the great things that have come out of our partnership:

Creating hope – jobs and training mad accessible to our service users

Great Volunteers – Several staff members have given their time to help us in various activities and clubs

Finance – Through the whole year, staff and customers have raised a massive £4070.03!
A big thank you to Vernon the manager of Sainsbury’s Amblecote for discounting our food order for the Jubilee Party by 10%.

Donations – Sainsbury’s has also donated many resources such as nail varnish, makeup, books, pens, crayon, toys and games.

Raising our Profile – This has been a massive benefit and impossible to measure.

We visited the store for a leaving presentation with the Colleague Council. This was a very moving time where BHP and Sainsbury’s staff thanked each other and agreed that this has been an amazing partnership. Sainsbury’s staff expressed that that had learnt a great deal about the community and being positively effected by volunteering in the FoodBand etc.

Thanks again Sainsbury’s for all your efforts and for believing in our mission.

We had a volunteer visit us for the day from the local Job Centre, she was really helpful and shared her experience and knowledge of the benefits system. This will be a great help to us as we advise our clients and help them progress.

To celebrate the Jubilee we held a street party, around 80 local residents joined in the fun, food and games. Thankfully the weather held and a good day was had by all.
