Besom
The Besom in Haringey began in April 2011 and helps people in churches across Haringey to make a difference. It provides a bridge between those who want to give time, money, things or skills and those who are in need.
Poverty, isolation, abuse, ill health, injustice, homelessness: we all see the sharp inequalities of life around us and the devastating impacts they have on people's lives. Many of us want to do something, to get involved but we don't always know how. The Besom exists to help you make a difference to the lives of others and to make it easy for you to do so.
The aim behind all Besoms is that everyone - whether you are three years old or over 80, whether working full-time or part-time, a student, a mum with toddlers, in between jobs or retired - can get involved. By giving your time, money, things or skills you can help those who are in real need and make a long term positive difference to their lives.
We currently provide two services to those who are in need that have been made known us through social services in Haringey.
- collecting good quality furniture and household items from those who wish to give and delivering to those who are in need.
- decorating and gardening projects.
If you'd like to be involved we'd love to hear from you! besominharingey@gmail.com
