DONATIONS

Due to a severe shortage of storage space, at the moment DP is unable to accept donations of clothing and household goods.

For further information and updates on the situation please contact us at info@boltondp.org Please note this does not apply to food and toiletries. We are still accepting donations of toiletries and non-perishable food. The Food Team can advise what we are most in need of. We are very grateful for all your support and will advise when we are able to accept donations once more.

ASYLUM SEEKER CASEWORK SERVICES AT DP:

The Casework team at the Destitution Project (DP) provides casework support for asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers who live in Bolton. Please note that, based on our Charity’s registration, we are not able to provide casework help to anyone living outside of Bolton or anyone who is an EU citizen or a British passport holder.

ARE YOU AN ASYLUM SEEKER WHO IS NEW TO BOLTON?

Currently, due to the high number of cases our Caseworker already has, we can only take on a new casework client when a space becomes available. However, wherever possible we will sign-post you to other services in Bolton or refer you to another organisation that may be able to help you.

ARE YOU ALREADY ONE OF OUR CASEWORK CLIENTS?

If you want help from the DP Caseworker you must contact them as follows:

Shaheda Mangerah - Senior Caseworker
Tel: 07421 352829
Email: seniorcaseworker@boltondp.org

During the following times: Monday 9am - 1pm, Tuesday 9am - 1pm, Wednesday 9am - 2pm (by appointment only. Contact the Caseworker before Wednesday for an appointment), Thursday 9am - 1pm, Friday 9am - 12pm

IF YOU ARE A REFUGEE OR ASYLUM SEEKER

You may wish to contact either of the following organisations for help:

1) The British Red Cross (Tel: 0161 888 8932; email: GMRS@redcross.org.uk), or:

2) BRASS (Tel: 01204 397152 or email: admin@brass-bolton.org).

We’re using easyfundraising, a free fundraising platform that allows us to earn money when we shop online. easyfundraising works with over 7,500 online retailers, everyone from Tesco, eBay, Sports Direct, M&S, Boots, Just Eat, Booking.com, and everything in between.

Once signed up all you need to do is start your shopping journey at the easyfundraising website, use the browser extension or app (information will be provided when you register) and the retailer you shop with will send us a free donation based on how much you spend.

With the cost of living impacting everyone, this isn’t about asking you to spend more, but to make you aware that if you are making an on-line purchase anyway that by using easyfundraising you can give to us at the same time and at no additional cost to you.
