A CHARITY has set up a fundraiser to continue its mission of overcoming poverty.

Rosie Gilchrist, founder of Rosie's corner on Burn Lane in Hexham, has set up a fundraiser in hopes of raising enough money to continue hiring a van to deliver items of clothing.

The aim is to become more accessible for people to get the donate clothing items instead of coming to the unit.

Rosie said: "Rosie's corner is an established charity based in Hexham.

"We have been running for over five years. We have built an excellent reputation with families coming to us for support with clothing and equipment.

"Our mission to help provide items for free for families who are experiencing poverty.

"The past 24 months has seen a 15% increase in demand and we have helped 600 families.

"We were recently granted a small grant from Karbon Homes, to which we have put towards running a more regular delivery service and pop-up events of our services across West Northumberland.

"Our pop-up events have been a success and we have helped 100 families - 18.6% of those had never used us before.

"We are asking for donations to help towards van hire so we can continue to help support families who struggle to get to our unit sessions venue hire for pop up events and also extra money to help support our running costs.
