The Besom

Worcester

The Besom exists to form a bridge between those who want to give and those in need. Since we came together we have established relationships with a number of organisations and social services teams who work alongside people in need.

A service to people who have something to give

People may want to give things, time or money and for us the emphasis is on making it easy for people to give, matching what they have to offer to a person’s need that has been identified by their social workers or health professionals. It enables effective giving where the giver can see the difference their giving makes.

How you can be involved

There are three main ways to get involved through:

  • Giving good quality things (new or nearly new) – we can generally arrange collection

  • Giving time to help on the van collecting or delivering, sorting items already given or even using your DIY skills to help transform somebody’s home or garden.

  • Giving money to for specific projects or indeed to cover the basic operating expenses of the local office such as insurance, phone, stationary and postage.

How you can contact us

Our phone number is 01905 620692 and you can email us at thebesomworcester@yahoo.com If we’re out and about you can leave a message. Our office is open every Tuesday between 9.00am and 1.00pm so if you have time to give and would like to come and work with us or simply want to find out more why not give us a call?

“It was a pleasure to help an organisation that does so much for others especially as 20 years ago I was in a similar need as the lady I gave two beds to – and nobody was there to help me”
