When you see big fundraising numbers or read about large donations, it can be easy to think, “What difference can my £5 really make?” 
But here’s the truth, it makes all  the difference. 

At Wood Street Mission, every single act of kindness adds up to something extraordinary. One person donates a pack of nappies, another brings a bag of clothes, someone else adds a few toys to their shopping basket, and together, those small gestures create real change for children and families across Manchester and Salford. 

Small Acts. Big Impact. 

A few pounds could mean nappies for a new born 

A pack of socks can mean warm feet on the walk to school. 
A donated toy can mean a child waking up on Christmas morning feeling seen, remembered, and loved. 

It’s never just about the item or the money, it’s about the hope behind it. When families visit Wood Street Mission, what they see is care. What they feel is dignity. And that’s something no amount of money can measure. 

Together, We Create Change 

When hundreds of people give what they can, we’re able to keep our doors open, stock our shelves, and provide support to thousands of local families every year. 

It’s proof that kindness doesn’t have to be grand to be powerful. It just has to be shared. 

So if you’ve ever wondered whether your donation really matters, it does. Every item, every coin, every gift plays its part in turning hardship into hope. 

Because when a community comes together, even the smallest act can spark something incredible.
