Dora Brown transforming homes for families in need

Aim

Volunteers transforming homes for families in crisis through: clearance • cleaning • provision • support

If you're new to Dora... this is what we do:

• Dora is a huge team of up-f'rit volunteers who transform homes, free-of-charge providing fast relief for families living in crisis conditions
• We give families beds, dining tables, wardrobes, washing machines, curtains…we do tonnes of clearance + unimaginable levels of cleaning to make homes habitable, functioning, supportive places to live in again
• Dora gets people back-on-track with fun, caring, life-changing help for the most vulnerable families in our community
• We are a tiny but mighty charity plugging a gap in social care, contributing to the crucial nationwide picture of charities effecting policy change through grassroots help

If you know Dora already... our plea for you to support again:

• In our third knockout year Dora has grown exponentially: we radically transformed 31 family's homes + lives (up from 8 in 2022...+ 2024 looks set to keep up this growth that we are immensely proud of)
• We honed the machine + cut our family referral to project start time by 25%, getting in to help families much quicker; + we grew our stable of volunteers by 58 of the best humans imaginable
• In 2023 we converted from a social enterprise to a registered charity so that we can claim Gift Aid on your donations, increasing the value by 25%, ye-ha!
• Dora is a small, local charity + while we receive numerous grants, our own fundraising efforts + every single penny donated by you is vital for match funding, covering core costs + for keeping Dora going, so please do donate if you're able to

Take a look at our rewards, an early launch of our new Membership Scheme. As ever, sharing is caring, so do Dora a favour + pass it on please folks? 

Thank you
