The Community Share Hub...

The hub started in 2019 as ‘Crewe and Nantwich Uniform Exchange’, a place for the local community to recycle and reuse no longer needed school uniforms, winter coats and multiple other children’s items. In October 2020 we opened Motherwell Community Share Hub at Beech Drive, and the support services have continued to expand. Our sustainable, accessible to all scheme is here to help reduce the amount of items heading to landfill. This provides a range of different services for ALL of our community with no questions asked. Reducing landfill and encouraging us all to #reuse #recycle and #rewear our pre loved items.

Our support starts with our Baby Bank, supporting expectant or new mums. The Baby Bank can provide items for babies up to two years of age, from our new mum vouchers, a scheme with the local midwives and health centres providing vouchers to these families, which in return supplies them with a packed Moses hamper with items for mum and baby. Our Baby Bank provides like-new items to families, cots, clothing bundles, travel systems, prams, double strollers, cots, clothing and nappies and much much more!

Our hub stocks school uniforms, generic and branded items, stationery, and period poverty kits. And in addition, we have our fancy dress, and seasonal related stock. Within the hub we have our Footlocker Scheme, we receive pre loved football boots and astroturf trainers from local sports clubs and schools, these are then given back to children to encourage and empower them to keep on playing the sport they love. With our seasonal items, these range from winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves to Christmas jumpers, prom dresses and suits! 

Whatever you may need, we will try our best to help. .

Period Dignity...breaking the taboo!

Period Dignity Campaign.

Kate Blakemore, founder of Cheshire Women’s Collaboration shares her thoughts about Period Poverty and our responsibility to move towards a Period Dignity mindset. When we talk about period poverty we automatically assume we mean menstruating individuals not being able to afford sanitary towels or tampons, however, it is so much more of a bigger picture. Since reading the book “vagina – a re-education” by Lynn Enright I realise that period poverty is so much more than supplying sanitary products. It’s about;
  • How we talk about periods
  • Period education
  • Being honest about the impact
  • Not penalising menstruating people

To find out more about our campaign please click here to read more.

 

We are thrilled to announce our ongoing support in breaking down barriers for females in sports. We are dedicated to providing continuous assistance and bridging the gaps that menstruation may create. Our initiative involves distributing period dignity kits to local sports clubs in Crewe and the surrounding areas. These kits are designed to support the clubs and the incredible women and girls who play for them.

The inspiration for these kits came from ex-Liverpool Feds players Rachael Mutch and Jo Murray, who created the amazing ‘Just in Casey’ bags for those moments when you’re playing your sport and suddenly realise you’ve started your period. We aim to empower young girls and women to approach their managers and confidently request their period dignity kits. No one should let their period hinder them from pursuing their passion for sports.

We’re proud to have already distributed these kits to several teams catering to ages 11 years and above. Some clubs we’ve supported include Nantwich Town FC, Crewe FC, Witton Wildcats, and Malbank School. Recently, we had the pleasure of attending a football tournament, where we witnessed girls openly discussing periods and the barriers they may face.

These comprehensive kits are thoughtfully curated and not limited to just period products. They also include hair deodorants, wipes, sanitary bags, hair bobbles, and much more. The contents are made possible through generous donations we have received, and we ensure they are consistently replenished from our stock. If you’re interested in contributing items for these bags or know of a sports club that would greatly benefit from receiving them, please get in touch with us via email at motherwellhub@motherwellcheshirecio.com.
Together, we can create a supportive and empowering environment for women and girls in sports, breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity and confidence.

Donate now to support your local Charity...

Every week we are supporting the local families with our health and wellbeing support. Here at Motherwell our support starts from new born up menopause age and everyone in 

From our Baby Bank, to counselling, our Cherry Blossom service to our Menopause cafes, to our hub, we are constantly supporting your community and always looking to raise money to ensure this support continues.

From donations we receive through the door, to money donations we receive in the hub, we are constantly looking at ways to ensure donations come in.

Without the hub many of our community would struggle, with the average cost of a baby for their firs year being around £7000, this is an unbelievable cost! A cost that many of us could not afford.
