Please fill in the below form and we will contact you to discuss. We would love the opportunity to work with you and your team.

GIVE

To play a part in this positive and powerful change, there are many ways you can be involved, big or small.

The Village Co. are strictly not-for-profit and rely solely on the donations from our wonderful community - your donation will go directly to mothers in need.

Monetary donations: these ensure we can provide for any shortfalls in our physical donations. The administration and running cost of The VIllage Co. Are small yet a vital part of ensuring our organisations functions and can continue the important work we do.

Consider a regular monthly donation: regular donations ensure we can plan for the future. Please consider giving a donation monthly so we can plan new programs to further our impact.

Physical donations: see our shopping list at the bottom of the page for the essential items we require - even simply purchasing an extra item each time you do your regular food shop would add up to be such an important contribution.

Please visit our drop off locations to find your local drop off point.
