Here For Heath Town

Supporting People. Strengthening Community.

Bringing hope to every home. Together, we can build a stronger, kinder Heath Town.

It Starts With...

A Knock on the Door

Forty years ago, that’s how this began. And honestly, it still feels like the right place to start.

The Sisters of the Infant Jesus knocked on doors and found people afraid to leave their homes. So they sat down. They listened. Really listened. Today, we’re still doing that, walking the estate, talking things through, learning what’s actually needed before trying to fix anything.

Small Steps Make Lasting Change

Sometimes it’s a hot meal. Sometimes it’s sewing. Sometimes it’s just being heard. It all counts.

What We Do

Turning Talk into Tangible, Everyday Support.

We meet people where they are. That might mean groceries, English classes, warm clothing, or simply a chair and a cup of tea while someone catches their breath.

Clothing Banks

Free clothes and essentials shared respectfully, from babies right through to adults.

Teaching & Skills

ESOL, digital basics, job support and gentle learning pathways that build confidence.

Weekly Pantry

Pay-as-you-feel food with choice, warmth, and familiar faces behind the tables.

Recycling & Upcycling

Donations reused locally through sewing, crafts, and practical community projects.

Sewing Group

A relaxed weekly space for women to stitch, chat, laugh, and learn together.

Our Guiding Spirit

These aren’t just nice words on a wall. They are the promises we make to each other, every single day in our little centre on Long Ley.
We see a need, we act. No red tape. Just practical, swift help.
Everyone walks through our door as an equal. Judgment is left outside.
Progress doesn’t run on a timetable. We stay alongside people.
We believe in people even when they don’t yet believe in themselves.

Why Join Us

Be Part Together

Volunteering here isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about real faces, shared biscuits, and moments that quietly change someone’s week.

You'll See Direct Impact

One hour sorting clothes means a family stays warm. Your time changes things here.

Find Your Tribe

You'll meet people from all walks of life. For many, this place becomes their second family.

No Experience Needed

Just bring yourself. We will provide the training, the laughs, and the sense of purpose.

Proud Local Partnerships

We couldn’t do this alone. We’re grateful to work side by side with local organisations who care as much as we do.

People At Heart

Everything here comes back to people. Their worries. Their courage. The small victories they carry through our doors each week.
Food Support

Fresh groceries, warm meals, and emergency help offered with dignity and choice.

Learning Spaces

We run ESOL, digital skills classes and offer a bit of gentle guidance for brighter futures.

Community Care

We offer friendship, conversation, and practical help, which make life a little easier and help relieve feelings of loneliness.

Volunteer Voices

Real words from people who give their time here.

I wasn’t sure what to expect at first. Now it’s part of my routine. Good people, honest work, and you leave feeling like your time counted.

Mark Heath Town

I started volunteering just to help out locally, but it’s given me purpose too. You see straight away how much small things matter here.

Sarah Heath Town

I help sort donations on Wednesdays. It’s simple work, but it means families walk out warmer and smiling. That stays with you longer than you’d think.
