Buddy Fund
Providing additional essential items beyond The Buddy Bags
Overview of The Buddy Fund
Going beyond the Buddy Bag with essential items.
Building on our commitment to children in crisis, the Buddy Fund provides additional essential items beyond Buddy Bags.
The Buddy Fund supports families who need a little extra help when leaving the refuge and moving into their own accommodation.
