FAB Charity Shops

FAB has two charity shops within Greater Manchester including our Head Office in Bolton and we are grateful for all donations we receive. The shops fund the cost of buildings such as rent and utilities bills which allows FAB to have town centre bases for our commissioned areas and Head Office. The bases provide a breastfeeding welcome environment for mums to drop in and breastfeed comfortably and access support if needed. It also gives peer supporters a central base to work from.

The shop sales have enabled FAB to train new volunteers and provided extra funding for additional resources for staff and volunteers such as new peer supporter t-shirts and promotional items such as leaflets and flyers.

 

 

 

The shops and Man & Van service has added much social value to the Charity through offering work placements and volunteering opportunities within the shops for young men and women (dads and mums) who have been out of work for long periods of time.We invest time in partnership work with employment agencies and job centres to working together to provide job placements and work experience for people wanting to learn new skills and hopefully move away from benefits into paid work.

 

We held a celebration event to recognize the achievements of all our staff and volunteers which was attended by the Mayor of Bolton.
