The Hive

Hello! 👋

We hope everyone is enjoying the summer holidays and having lots of fun with their little ones! 😄☀️

We’re sharing a plea from Storehouse Food Bank Trowbridge, but also wanted to take the opportunity to remind you that 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. ❤️

You can pop along to Storehouse Food Bank Trowbridge, their opening hours are on their page, or drop us a message here at The Hive, and we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.

Summer holidays can be wonderful, but we also know they can bring extra pressures for families. Whether you need help with food, essentials, or just need someone to talk to about what support is available, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁.

There is absolutely no shame in asking for help, and you don’t have to face things alone. ❤️

We’re here, and so are the wonderful people at Storehouse. 🫶

❤️ A LITTLE HELP CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE ❤️

This week, I’m making a heartfelt plea for support.

With the rising cost of everyday essentials, more families and individuals are struggling to put food on the table. If you’re able to donate even a small amount of food it could make a real difference to someone who is going through a difficult time.

Every donation matters. Every contribution helps. And every act of kindness can give someone a little hope. 🥫❤️

If you can help, please consider supporting your local food bank this week — and if you can’t donate, simply sharing this post could help reach someone who can.

Thank you for your kindness and support. 🙏

The sunshine is lovely, but we know hot weather can bring extra challenges for families with little ones.

Whether it's keeping babies cool, finding the right clothing, or simply managing the increased costs that come with summer, please remember that you are not alone.

At Growbaby West Wilts, we're here to support local families with baby essentials, clothing, equipment, and a friendly listening ear when you need it most.

If you're struggling, worried, or just need a little extra help, please get in touch. There is no judgment, no expectation, and no need to face things on your own. Just drop us a message, and we will try our best to help you 💙

And if you're having a clear out of summer baby clothes, sun hats, or other good-quality children's items, we'd love to hear from you too. Your donations help us continue supporting families in our community.
