Choir Charity 2025
The choir have chosen Comfort Case uk as their charity 2024-2025https://comfortcasesuk.org/​We are busy knitting blankets, collecting items and raising cash to buy and fill at least 50 bags by our packing date in July 2025 This explains what the charity does ​
WHAT WE DO
Every year, 36,000 new children enter the care system. That’s one child every 15 minutes.
These children often move homes multiple times a year and under emergency circumstances, with a little more than the clothes on their backs.
Comfort Cases UK provides children entering the care system with a bag of bespoke belongings (comfort cases) they can call their own when they have been removed from everything and everyone they know. Filled with essential and comforting items such as, books, PJs, toiletries, soft toys, blankets and even SIM cards for older children.
Four out of five children report their treasured belongings are shoved in bin bags when they move from home to home – risking precious memories being lost or damaged. Comfort Cases are invaluable and offer far more than just the items inside – they offer a sense of belonging, safety and security to children when everything is crumbling around them.
Comfort Cases UK volunteers fill the rucksacks with essential items of comfort and necessity and the charity works with over 100 local authority teams, organisations, NHS trusts and residential care homes to distribute the rucksacks to those in need within local communities.
