Goods Needed

Little Angels relies on private and corporate donations – with little help from the state. As a result there are certain things that we are always in need of – from clothing, linen, and groceries to furniture, therapy equipment and the ever-important cash funding for rent, salaries and insurance.

People are contributing in many creative ways! You can buy the goods and deliver them to us. Or you can donate gift vouchers for certain store which we can redeem for our most needed items. You could even start a collection club with your friends or colleagues and donate on a monthly basis.

We are a transparent organisation and our doors (and books) are always open.

A breakdown of our necessities:
