The Besom

… a bridge between those who want to give and those in need

Whatever you want to give… an hour or a whole day; £1 or £1000; a hamper of delicious food; clothes or furniture… call The Besom in Preston and Chorley.

Giving time as a group:
The Besom provides a wide variety of opportunities for people to reach out into the community and help others in practical ways. Recent projects include gardening for the elderly, painting and decorating the homes of single parents and families living in shabby, run-down housing, and helping create homes for young men and women escaping difficult situations.

-sorting donated clothing and distributing it to those who really need it. This takes place during the week.
